The Houston Texans are going with a tried and true formula in the Nick Caserio era of adding a former 1,000-yard running back to the roster.
According to Aaron Wilson from the Pro Football Network, the Texans are signing former Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack to the roster. Mack had previously worked out with the Texans throughout the course of free agency.
Mack was supplanted as the Colts’ feature back in 2020 due to injury. In Week 1, the former 2017 fourth-round pick from South Florida sustained a torn Achilles that knocked out for the season. Second-round running back Jonathan Taylor took over and has never looked back. Mack did return to the Colts in 2021 with 28 carries for 101 yards over the course of six games.
