Arian Foster is ready for an increase in usage after splitting carries in the first three weeks with Ben Tate.

Foster has recorded 18, 19 and 12 carries during Weeks 1-3, while Tate has received nine carries in each game.

Foster had 79 rushes for 294 yards last season after the first three games.

“I’m feeling good. My body feels good,” said Foster. “I’m ready to go whenever they want to let me go. But you’ve got to be patient and trust coach.”

Duane Brown will have consecutive start streak ended at 78 as he didn't travel with the Houston Texans for their Week 3 game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Brown, an All-Pro left tackle in 2012, is dealing with a toe injury.

Ryan Harris will place Brown in the starting lineup of the Texans.

Ray Rice is doubtful for Week 3 against the Houston Texans.

Rice is injured with a left hip flexor sprain.

Bernard Pierce will make his first career start if Rice is unable to play.

Arian Foster admitted to being paid while playing in college at Tennessee.

"I just feel strong about the injustice that the NCAA has been doing for years," Foster said Friday. "That's why I said what I said. I'm not trying to throw anybody under the bus. ... I feel like I shouldn't have to run from the NCAA anymore. They're like these big bullies. I'm not scared of them."

An excerpt of the documentary was obtained by and posted on SI.com.

"I don't know if this will throw us into an NCAA investigation -- my senior year (2008), I was getting money on the side," Foster said in the video. "I really didn't have any money. I had to either pay the rent or buy some food. I remember the feeling of like, 'Man, be careful.' But there's nothing wrong with it. And you're not going to convince me that there is something wrong with it."

Bernard Pollard has been fined by the NFL $42,000 for his Week 2 hit on Andre Johnson.

Johnson left the game with a concussion due to a hit from Pollard in which he led with his shoulder.

Pollard wasn't flagged for the hit, but the NFL said that the hit to the head and neck area was on a defenseless receiver.
