With two strong preseason outings in the books, Houston running back Steve Slaton has been slated to start for the Texans when they face the Cowboys on Friday. Slaton has registered 24 carries for 94 rushing yards thus far over the first two preseason games, working with the the team’s 2nd- and 3rd-team offenses in those games. The Texans love his burst off the line, and while injury concerns from falls in college are hard to ignore, Slaton could find a role as the Texans’ third-down back.
