Texans See 'Three-Down Back' in David Montgomery

Published July 8, 2026 · Updated July 8, 2026 · NBC Sports

The Houston Texans are confident David Montgomery can be their lead back after trading for him to improve a struggling rushing attack.

Montgomery joins the Texans after splitting carries with Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit. Running backs coach Danny Barrett praised Montgomery's mentality, describing him as a 'three-down back' who can finish runs and blocks.

While rookie Woody Marks led Houston in rushing last year, the team hopes Montgomery's experience and work ethic will elevate their offense, which ranked 22nd in yards last season. capturengo.org
