Cardinals running back Andre Ellington is likely to lose his starting role in Week 10 against the Texans, with Rashard Mendenhall expected to return to the lineup.

Despite that, coach Bruce Arians told the team's official website he wants to get Ellington 20 touches in the game -- he had 17 in the team's most recent game against the Falcons, during which he racked up 162 all-purpose yards.
