Official Texans vs. Jets Game Thread, 11/22/2015

The Texans are promoting former New York Giants and Baltimore Ravens running back Akeem Hunt to the active roster from the practice squad, according to sources not authorized to speak publicly.

The Texans cut outside linebacker Kourtnei Brown to create a roster spot for Hunt.

The Texans need depth and speed at running back. Chris Polk is dealing with a hamstring injury and is listed as questionable on the injury report after not practicing Friday.

Hunt ran a 4.37 in the 40-yard dash at his Pro Day workout. He had a 37.5-inch vertical leap, a 3.96 short shuttle and a 10-2 broad jump.

Hunt finished his career with over 4,600 all-purpose yards, ranking him among the top backs in Purdue history along with Kory Sheets and Mike Alstott.

I like it. When is the last time if ever we saw a sub 4.4 guy at RB for the Texans ? With Foster gone, they need to have a new name in the DC at RB, and do we ever need some speed, a guy with a burst taking handoffs.
