Kareem Jackson DB HOU

Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips expects Kareem Jackson to return as the Texans' starting right corner in 2012.

The Texans lost Jason Allen, with whom Jackson rotated in 2011, and they'll count on him to be a full-time player in 2012. "I think Kareem's the starter," Phillips said. "... Kareem had a good year. Part of it was we had a good year defensively, but he had something to do with that. He played physical like we thought he would and he obviously played better than he did previously."

Texans declared CB Kareem Jackson (questionable, knee) inactive for Week 4 against Pittsburgh.

RB Arian Foster will start and is expected to see a heavy workload, and Ben Tate will be his backup with Derrick Ward (out, ankle) sidelined. CB Sherrick McManis (doubtful, hamstring) will sit. QB T.J. Yates, WR David Anderson, T Andrew Gardner and G Thomas Austin are all healthy scratches.

New Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips admits CB Kareem Jackson needs "a lot of work" on his technique.

"I guess he was able to play at Alabama without a lot of technique without worrying about staying low enough or moving his feet," said Phillips. "I think that caught up with him. I think we can coach him." This is an area where Jackson is really hurt by the lockout. Phillips will have limited teaching time before Jackson is thrown back into the fire.
