Texans Acquire David Montgomery from Lions

The Houston Texans have acquired running back David Montgomery from the Detroit Lions in exchange for offensive lineman Juice Scruggs and two draft picks (2026 fourth-round, 2027 seventh-round). Montgomery sought a new start after a frustrating 2025 season, where he amassed 2,506 rushing yards and 33 TDs in Detroit. The Texans aim to bolster their 22nd-ranked rushing attack with the veteran.
