Report: Texans, Ingram agree to 1-year deal

The Houston Texans have agreed to a one-year deal with veteran running back Mark Ingram worth up to $3 million, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Ravens released Ingram in January after a two-season stint in Baltimore.

The 31-year-old rushed for 1,018 yards (5 per carry) and 10 touchdowns in 2019 but is coming off a subpar campaign. Ingram had just 72 carries for 299 yards and two scores through 11 appearances last year and was a healthy scratch for four of the Ravens' final five games, including two postseason bouts.

Houston will be Ingram's third team. The former first-round pick out of Alabama also played for the New Orleans Saints from 2011 to 2018.

The three-time Pro Bowler will join a Texans backfield looking to improve. Houston averaged just 91.6 rushing yards per game last year with veteran David Johnson leading the way, ranking 31st in the league in that category.

The Texans recently released running back Duke Johnson, who finished third on the team with 77 carries in 2020. Johnson caught 72 passes for 659 yards and four touchdowns during his two seasons with Houston.
