Foster could test hamstring in warmups, but unlikely to play

Arian Foster will likely be sidelined for the Houston Texans for the second time in three weeks by an injured hamstring, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

The Texans don't expect Foster to dress for Sunday's matchup against the New Orleans Saints, but could take a look at him in warmups and change that determination.

Regardless, Ben Tate is in line to shoulder the load at running back in a game plan designed to test the Saints on the ground.

Foster -- the NFL's 2010 rushing champ -- was limited by the injury in Week 2, carrying the ball just 10 times for 33 yards before sitting out the second half.
