Texans' Foster returns to active duty

Houston Texans running back Arian Foster was added to the team's active roster and moved off the physically unable to perform list on Wednesday.

Foster practiced with the team for the time in training camp. A back problem has kept Foster out of camp and the team's preseason games. He was placed on the PUP list initially because of a calf injury suffered during organized team activities.

The Texans would welcome Foster's return to good health for their regular-season opener on Sept. 9 against the San Diego Chargers. He rushed for 1,424 yards and 15 touchdowns on 351 carries last season.
