The Houston Texans filled their need for a veteran tailback on Sunday evening, reaching agreement with six-year veteran Ron Dayne, who was released by the Denver Broncos one day earlier. Financial details of the one-year deal were not yet available, but the contract is likely for the minimum base salary.

First-year Texans head coach Gary Kubiak was the offensive coordinator in Denver and is thus familiar with Dayne. And since the Texans have installed an offense similar to the Broncos' design, Dayne will not need a learning period before he can contribute.

Interesting...though I cut him from my team...any one know if Lundy is the starter?

Lundy has been named the opening week starter at running back but they'll probably use a lot of Morency and some Dayne.

Ron Dayne hasn't played well unless he gets a lot of touches so let's see if Houston obliges with that sometime this year.
