Blue (calf) is officially active for Sunday's Week 13 tilt versus the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

Blue's absence from the inactives report is official confirmation of what had already been suspected, namely, that he'll be available to complement bell-cow back Lamar Miller for what will likely be just a handful of touches against the Packers.

Blue (calf) will be available Sunday against the Packers, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blue has missed the Texans' last two contests with the calf injury, but after logging some practice time this week, it looks like he'll reenter the team's running-back rotation. However, since Lamar Miller is the clear alpha dog in the backfield, Blue probably won't be in line for more than a handful of carries Sunday.

Blue (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

Blue has a decent chance to return to the Texans' backfield mix Sunday against the Packers, though if he does, he'd be in line to back up Lamar Miller, a role that carries limited fantasy upside while Miller is healthy enough to play.

Blue (calf) returned to a limited practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Blue thus has a chance to return to action Sunday against the Packers, though in such a scenario he'd back up Lamar Miller, a role that carries limited fantasy upside so long as Miller remains healthy.

Blue (calf) remained sidelined at practice Wednesday, the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blue has missed the Texan's last two games and thus looks iffy for Sunday's game against the Packers. If he remains sidelined this weekend, Jonathan Grimes and Akeem Hunt would be in line to serve as the team's backups behind starting RB Lamar Miller.

Blue (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

With fellow RB Tyler Ervin also out, Akeem Hunt and Jonathan Grimes are in line to be available Sunday to back up starter Lamar Miller.

Blue (calf) did not practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Blue thus remains iffy for Sunday's game against the Chargers after being inactive in Week 11. Even if he is able to rally and play this weekend, the running back's fantasy value is limited as long as Lamar Miller is healthy enough to play.

Blue (calf) won't play Monday night against the Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

With both Blue and Jonathan Grimes ailing, Akeem Hunt is a candidate to see an uptick in complementary duties Monday, while working behind starter Lamar Miler.

Blue (calf) missed practice Thursday, the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite his absence from practice Thursday, Blue said that he's optimistic about his status for Monday night's game against the Raiders. A return to practice either Friday or Saturday, in any capacity, would support that notion.

Blue (calf) rushed for 23 yards on seven carries in Houston's 24-21 win over Jacksonville.

EDGE Analysis

Blue left the game briefly with a calf injury, but was able to finish it out despite being labelled questionable. The Texans went three backs deep against the Jaguars, as both Blue and Akeem Hunt got carries behind starter Lamar Miller, who was limited to 15 carries and did not catch a pass, his third consecutive game with fewer than 20 touches. The group was very effective Sunday, rushing for 181 yards. It looks like Blue, if he's healthy enough to play, will be part of the offensive game plan most weeks, albeit in a secondary role. We anticipate Blue popping up on the injury reports leading up to Houston's Week 11 game in Mexico City against the Raiders.
