The Houston Texans are tinkering with their running back room as they near the playoffs.
According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, the Texans are working out former Los Angeles Chargers running back Jeremy Cox on Monday.
Cox previously worked out for the Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos. He went undrafted out of Old Dominion earlier in 2019.
Cox measures in at 6-foot, 230-pounds. He tested well at his Old Dominion pro day, posting a 4.42-second 40-yard-dash, a 39-inch vertical jump and 25 reps on the 225-pound bench press.
In his four seasons at Old Dominion, Cox tallied 451 rush attempts for 2,175 yards and 23 touchdowns. In 2016, as a sophomore, he recorded 13 touchdowns on the ground.
Cox also recorded 75 receptions for 532 yards and a touchdown while playing C-USA football.
The Texans currently have four running backs on their active roster in Carlos Hyde, Duke Johnson, Taiwan Jones and Buddy Howell. They also have undrafted rookie Karan Higdon on the practice squad.
