The Houston Texans had several injuries during their third preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys earlier this month, but none proved to be more severe than starting running back Lamar Miller, who was lost for the season with a torn ACL.
The injury to Miller left the Texans with a major need at the running back position ever since, even with the addition of Duke Johnson earlier this month as well.
The Texans addressed the need at running back on Saturday by sending former third-round pick Martinas Rankin, an offensive lineman, to the Kansas City Chiefs for veteran running back Carlos Hyde, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.
