Houston Texans running back Arian Foster is officially active Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Foster is now sufficiently recovered from a groin injury that sidelined him for Houston's last two games. The Texans definitely missed Foster while he was gone, though rookie Alfred Blue did manage to look respectable in his absence.

Still, when Foster went down with the injury, he was second in the NFL in rushing yardage, trailing only DeMarco Murray of the Dallas Cowboys. In eight games, he ranks eighth in the NFL with 161 carries for 822 yards and seven touchdowns.
Sporting an average of 5.1 yards per carry, Foster is expected to have a big game against a shoddy Tennessee run defense Sunday. The Titans allow a league-worst 145.4 rushing yards per game on average, a figure Foster topped the last time these teams met in Week 8. For that game, Foster carried the ball 20 times for 151 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and he added another four receptions for 22 yards and a touchdown through the air.
