Where does the newest Houston Texans RB fit into their depth chart?

The Houston Texans worked out former Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings running back Cam Akers on Sunday. Later in the day, they went ahead and signed him, according to Aaron Wilson at KPRC2 .

Akers (5-foot-10, 217 pounds) was a second-round pick by LA in the 2020 NFL draft and spent three seasons and change with the Rams, totaling 360 attempts, 1,443 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground. Despite the promise he showed in the 2022 season he was traded to Minnesota early on last year, having been surpassed by Kyren Williams. Akers found himself as the third wheel in the Vikings' running back room, and only managed to put up 138 yards and one touhdown in six games last season.

So, where does Akers fit in with the Texans' new-look running back room? Our best guess is this is what the updated depth chart looks like with him included:

- Joe Mixon

- Dameon Pierce

- Cam Akers

- Dare Ogunbowale

- Jawhar Jordan

- J.J. Tayor

- British Brooks

It's possible Akers is lower than we've spotted him here - we most likely won't get a real good idea of where head coach DeMeco Ryans has him in the pecking order until the preseason begins. Houston will kick things off on August 1 against the Chicago Bears in the annual Pro Football Hall of Fame game, one week from Thursday.
