Blount recorded 29 carries for 123 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Dolphins.
With QB Jimmy Garoppolo (shoulder) in danger of missing Thursday's game against the Texans, Blount (who logged a fumble Sunday that was recovered) could well be busy in Week 3, with rookie Jacoby Brissett in line to start the contest if Garoppolo is unable to do so.
