Looks like the Texans may be getting serious about the run game.
As far as his injury history, in 2019 he suffered an elbow dislocation that was felt so gruesome that CBS refused to show the replay. Miraculously, although that was the end of his season, he did not require surgery. He came back in 2020 with a great year. Last year, he performed well but lost 4 games to a hamstring injury.

Houston has found its fullback.
The
Texans have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with veteran FB
Andy Janovich, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports, per a source.
Janovich, a veteran of six seasons, finds a new home after a two-year stay in Cleveland where he cleared the way for the dynamic duo of
Nick Chubb and
Kareem Hunt. The 28-year-old found his fourth career goal line touchdown during the 2021 season.
Janovich's arrival in Houston reunites him with running back
Rex Burkhead, with whom he spent his college days at the University of Nebraska. Burkhead currently sits atop the Texans' RB depth chart with
Darius Anderson and
Scottie Phillips also on the roster. Houston finished the 2021 season as the worst rushing team in the NFL with 83.6 rush yards per game.
