Arian Foster expected to return to practice on Monday

Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak has revealed that running back Arian Foster will return to practice on Monday.

Foster has been out of action since May, but according to the Houston Chronicle he has recovered from the bad back that initially set back his recovery.

The report suggests that the Texans want Foster to be ready to play in the third pre-season game against New Orleans Saints on August 25.

Last season, Foster carried for 1,424 yards and managed 15 touchdowns.
