"Chris Ogbonnaya will be the No. 2 running back behind Arian Foster in Sunday's game against Oakland at Reliant Stadium.

Coach Gary Kubiak on Friday said Ben Tate (groin) or Derrick Ward (ankle) would be activated to serve as the third back.

"Derrick and Ben both practiced (Friday) and looked pretty good, so I'm going to have one of them available," Kubiak said. "I've got to make a decision on which one I think is best. They've come a long way."

Cornerback Kareem Jackson (knee) practiced again but might not start. If he doesn't, Jason Allen will replace him for the second game in a row.

Not catching any slack

With Andre Johnson (hamstring) missing the game, the Texans are left with four receivers - starters Kevin Walter and Jacoby Jones and reserves Bryant Johnson and David Anderson."
