John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports that the Texans have released veteran running back Ronnie Brown. Brown was one of four running backs on the 53-man roster and was clearly in the back of the pack, as evidenced by his six carries over the first four weeks of the season. Alfred Blue and Jonathan Grimes remain as the backups to Foster. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/10/01/texans-release-ronnie-brown/
