Arian Foster’s return to the Texans lineup didn’t last very long.

Foster ran 10 times for 33 yards in first half, but the Texans came back from the break featuring Ben Tate and Steve Slaton as their running backs. The answer for the shift in focus came during the third quarter when the team announced Foster had reinjured his hamstring. He’s being called questionable to return, but the idea that they’d risk a further injury at this point seems very unlikely.

The Texans offense has been much less successful in the second half. They’ve gained just 14 yards and the Dolphins have scored 10 unanswered points to close the gap to 16-13 at the start of the fourth quarter.
