The Texans aren’t going to be able to replace the hole in their offense left by the news Arian Foster needs surgery and will miss part of the season.
But they can at least fill a spot on the depth chart, and are working on that as we speak.
According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, the Texans are bringing in former Saints running back Pierre Thomas for a visit today, along with Joe McKnight and Ben Malena.
Thomas was cut by the Saints this offseason, after eight years there.
