The Houston Texans have executed two significant trades in a single day, moving veteran offensive lineman Tytus Howard and acquiring running back David Montgomery in separate transactions, according to @RapSheet.
In the first move reported by Ian Rapoport, the Texans traded Tytus Howard to an undisclosed team in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick. Howard, a former first-round selection, has been a mainstay on the Houston offensive line for several seasons.
Shortly after the Howard news broke, the Texans struck a deal to bolster their backfield by acquiring David Montgomery. In exchange for the veteran running back, Houston is sending a package that includes a fourth-round pick, a seventh-round pick, and interior offensive lineman Juice Scruggs.
These moves signal a significant shift in the Texans' roster construction as they look to reshape both their offensive line and their ground game heading into the upcoming season.
