HOUSTON — Running back Mark Ingram has agreed to a one-year contract with the Houston Texans, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press.

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Thursday because the agreement hadn’t been announced.

The addition of Ingram gives Houston’s running game a much-needed boost after the Texans averaged the second-fewest yards rushing a game last season that included a weak year from David Johnson.
