Ogunbowale rushed three times for 10 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 20-12 preseason win over Steelers.
The Texans couldn't get much going with their run game, but Ogunbowale had an easy four-yard scamper for a score. He was the second back in the game following Dameon Pierce, who started in place of Joe Mixon (quadriceps). That suggests Ogunbowale will be Houston's third back to start the season.
