Texans' Rex Burkhead: Signing with Texans

Burkhead (knee) is signing with the Texans, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Financial terms of the deal have yet to be announced, but Burkhead will join a crowded Texans backfield that includes David Johnson, Mark Ingram and Philip Lindsay. It's not clear exactly where Burkhead shakes out in the rotation, but he likely will get some work in passing situations. The nine-year veteran is coming off ACL surgery Dec. 1 and it's unclear if he will be back up to full speed when training camp rolls around.
