Could the Texans be dealing from a position of strength at running back? It’s too early to say with complete confidence, but we’re hearing all of the runners expected to contribute this season have done something positive early in camp. Starter Ahman Green endured a little knee pain early in camp but has been healthy ever since. Backup Chris Brown, who missed time with a back injury, has returned and has run well. Rookie Steve Slaton will have a role in the offense. Third-year pro Chris Taylor also can play fullback, which helps his case to make the roster. Also, second-year RB Darius Walker — who looked to be a long shot to make the roster before training camp began — has caught the ball well. We’re hearing the Texans would be reluctant to cut Walker and try and sneak him back on the practice squad for fear he would be claimed by a team looking for RB help.
