HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans signed free agent running back Cam Akers on Sunday, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Akers joins a running back room led by 2021 Pro Bowler Joe Mixon, whom the Texans traded for in March and gave a three-year, $27 million contract extension.
Akers is coming off a torn left Achilles tendon that he suffered in Week 9 while a member of the Minnesota Vikings.
That was Akers' second time suffering such an injury; he previously tore his left Achilles during the 2021 offseason when he was with the Los Angeles Rams.
