Slaton May Lose Starting Job To Moats

Found November 04, 2009 on Fox Sports:
PLAYERS: Ryan Moats,  Steve Slaton
TEAMS: Houston Texans

92426601

Steve Slaton became a key to Houston's offense as a rookie last year when he ran for a franchise-record 1,282 yards. This season he's tied for the NFL lead in lost fumbles with five and his job as a starter is in jeopardy after Ryan Moats had a huge day filling in for him. Moats, a career backup, ran for 126 yards and three touchdowns after Slaton was benched in the first quarter of Houston's 31-10 win over the Bills.
