Houston acquired Pro Bowl wide receiver Stefon Diggs in a blockbuster trade with the Buffalo Bills earlier this offseason. The team also picked up Pro Bowl running back Joe Mixon in a deal with the conference-rival Cincinnati Bengals.
With training camp here, general manager Nick Caserio doesn’t appear to be done.
According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, Houston has signed veteran running back Cam Akers to a one-year contract.
Akers will likely vie with Dameon Pierce to be RB2 behind Mixon in Houston this season. The former second-round pick out of Florida State spent his first three-plus seasons with the Los Angeles Rams before latching on with the Minnesota Vikings roughly midway through last season.
