Texans Acquire David Montgomery in Trade for Late-Round Picks

March 2, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

The Texans have traded a 2026 fourth‑round pick, a 2027 seventh‑round pick and offensive lineman Juice Scruggs to the Lions for veteran RB David Montgomery, who will become the team's lead rusher.

Houston gave up a 2026 fourth‑round pick, a 2027 seventh‑round pick and OT Juice Scruggs to acquire Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery. Montgomery, 28, will pair with Woody Marks as the Texans’ primary back.

Experts rate the deal a B+, noting Montgomery’s proven red‑zone production and the Texans’ need for a physical inside runner. The trade mirrors the 2024 move for Joe Mixon and could give Houston a Pro Bowl‑caliber tailback.
