• Get Foster untracked early: Texans running back Arian Foster left last Sunday's game in the third quarter due to an irregular heartbeat, but he should be ready to go in Indianapolis.

The Texans need a strong ground game to make their play-action passing attack effective and will want to get Foster untracked early against one of the league's weakest run defenses. Last week's loss to the Vikings was the second time this season Foster averaged fewer than 2 yards a carry, and that can't happen again.
