Blue Is Fine After Leaving Practice on Cart

Tuesday, Aug. 4

Tania Ganguli of ESPN reported Blue "just cramped up" and likely went to the medical cart because practice was almost over. 

Blue's health is important for the Texans after Arian Foster injured his groin during the same practice, per Ganguli.

Blue suffered the injury and left the field on the cart following a touchdown run during an evening practice on August 3, per John McClain of the Houston Chronicle. According to Brian T. Smith of the Houston Chronicle, Blue initially walked off the field under his own power—albeit while visibly limping.

Blue appeared in all 16 games for the Texans last year, rushing for 528 yards and two touchdowns. A bulk of that total came in a 23-7 win over the Cleveland Browns when he rushed for 156 yards on 36 carries.

It's fair to assume the Texans plan on getting Blue plenty of touches as long as he's healthy.

Either way, he looked to have dodged a major bullet Monday.
