Texans' Eric Murray: Increased role on tap
Murray will start at safety again for the Texans on Sunday against the Colts, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The Minnesota product has played at least 80 percent of the team's defensive snaps in each of its last four games and hit the 100 percent mark twice. Murray has accumulated 16 combined tackles, including 1.0 sacks and an interception during that time.
