The Houston Texans appear to have made a corresponding move after their recent additions to the roster, with running back Evan Hull departing to make way for veteran Mario Edwards Jr., whom the Texans re-signed on Sunday.

Cardinals Scoop Up Ex-Texans RB Evan Hull
The Texans signed Hull as a free agent this offseason after a successful tryout during rookie minicamp in May.
"The #AZ Cardinals have claimed two players, via waivers," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on X on August 3, listing Hull along with defensive tackle Cam Horsley , formerly of the Tennessee Titans .
With their top three backs showing well, the Texans clearly viewed Hull as expendable.
A former fifth-round pick by the Indianapolis Colts , Hull is now on his fifth NFL team since entering the league in 2023.

Hull, who turns 26 in October, has rushed for 49 yards on 20 carries in his career, adding two receptions for 12 yards. He also returns kicks, logging seven for 179 yards in 2025 for the New Orleans Saints .
Hull has also played for the Pittsburgh Steelers .
The Texans traded for David Montgomery , pairing him with 2025 fourth-round pick Woody Marks and 2026 sixth-rounder Jawhar Jordan .
They also still have British Brooks and undrafted rookies Josh Pitsenberger and Noah Whittington, the latter of whom was among those who drew attention during Monday's training camp practice session.
