Texans Trade for Montgomery | Houston Texans News

The Houston Texans pulled off a savvy move, trading for veteran running back David Montgomery to anchor their backfield alongside young star Woody Marks. After Joe Mixon’s departure, the team sent a late-round pick to land Montgomery, who’s entering his ninth NFL season but still boasts solid touchdown production and surprising durability from his time splitting carries in Detroit. Despite a down year in touches and yards, PFF ranks him 26th overall — and the Texans believe his experience and fresh legs can be a game-changer. With the run game struggling last season, Montgomery’s arrival is seen as critical to keeping drives alive and easing pressure on C.J. Stroud. Training camp begins July 21 — watch to see if this veteran-youngster duo can ignite the offense. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
