Blue may get a bigger workload Sunday if starter Lamar Miller (shoulder) is limited against the Lions, CBS Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blue had his most carries of the season in Monday's loss to Denver, lugging the ball 11 times after Miller sustained a shoulder injury. Miller has been a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday, but head coach Bill O'Brien was encouraged by his activity. Blue is a bigger back than Miller and could be a between-the-tackles option if the Texans don't want to expose Miller to big shots on the shoulder.
