Report: Texans sign Marlon Mack
by Alex Chippin from on (#5XRVR)
The Houston Texans have signed free-agent running back Marlon Mack, a source told ESPN's Sarah Barshop.
Mack spent his first five seasons with the Indianapolis Colts and rushed for over 1,000 yards in 2019. He tore his Achilles tendon in the 2020 season opener and lost his role by the time he returned to health in 2021.
The Texans struggled to squeeze production out of their committee of running backs last season, ranking last in the NFL in rushing yards and yards per carry.
Mack, 26, will join a backfield that also contains Rex Burkhead, Royce Freeman, and Dare Ogunbowale. Burkhead led the team with 427 yards on the ground in 2021.
