The Houston Texans filled their need for a veteran tailback on Sunday evening, reaching agreement with six-year veteran Ron Dayne, who was released by the Denver Broncos one day earlier. Financial details of the one-year deal were not yet available, but the contract is likely for the minimum base salary.

First-year Texans head coach Gary Kubiak was the offensive coordinator in Denver and is thus familiar with Dayne. And since the Texans have installed an offense similar to the Broncos' design, Dayne will not need a learning period before he can contribute.

Before the agreement with Dayne, who is to arrive in Houston on Sunday night, the Texans had just two tailbacks on the roster, rookie Wali Lundy and second-year veteran Vernand Morency, after waiving rookie Chris Taylor earlier in the day. Lundy will start Sunday's season opener and, even with the addition of Dayne, it's likely that Morency will remain the top backup for now.

So are they just trying to make this team worse, or just more lazy?

must be a bad injury to Davis. The rookie hasnt played good enough to start and Morency is average at best. Dayne might make it a 3 headed attack.

he sucks and will continue to suck. Kubiak knows dayne from denver last year and he is just doing this in case lundy and morency get hurt, they just cut smith, so they had the roster spot. it really is meaningless.

Better Dayne than nobody though. At least he's proven himself somewhat in the past, like that MVP award last thanksgiving day for instance. Unfortunetly, I think he needs Mike Shannahan to be at all sucessful.
