2012 NFL Week 1: Texans RB Arian Foster Likely To Play Versus Dolphins

TEAMS: Houston Texans,  Miami Dolphins

 Chris Graythen/Getty ImagesDespite a lingering knee injury, running back Arian Foster will suit up for the Houston Texans in their Week 1 regular season-opener versus the Miami Dolphins Sunday, according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Foster injured his knee during the team's practice Thursday and will be tested out during the pre-game warm-ups. Coach Gary Kubiak says that he will be a game-time decision still, but he will likely play.

Foster did well for Houston last season, acclaiming more than 1,200 rushing yards for the second consecutive season to help Houston reach a playoff-berth. However, with quarterback Matt Schaub back, they can get farther into the season.

Even if Foster struggles, Houston seems fine with Ben Tate there, too. We'll see how Foster performs with a struggling knee Sunday.

Houston Texans: Why Fans Should Stop Trying to Trade Ben Tate
