Arian Foster‘s return to the Texans won’t mean the end of Ben Tate‘s role, according to sources.

Foster is set to start Sunday against the Dolphins, but the Texans will watch his hamstring closely, and they plan to use Tate regardless.

The Texans wemt with a two-back approach in Week 1 and have no qualms about giving Tate the ball to spell Foster. Tate had a big Week 1 against the Colts, rushing for 116 yards and one touchdown.

UPDATE: Foster was officially deemed active for the game when the Texans released their inactives list.
