The Houston Texans reached a contract agreement with restricted free agent running back Chris Polk on Tuesday, according to multiple reports.
Polk was on the market after the Eagles rescinded their free agent offer. The 25-year-old 57 career carries in three NFL seasons and has rushed for 4.7 yards per game.
Last season, Polk ran for 172 yards and four touchdowns on 46 carries. He added one touchdown while returning 11 kickoffs in 2014.
The Texans are considered a candidate with the 16th overall pick in the NFL Draft on Thursday to take Georgia’s Todd Gurley, rated by NFLDraftScout.com as the top running back available, and potentially use him in tandem with the team’s top rusher, Arian Foster.
