The Houston Texans have re-signed running back Dare Ogunbowale to a one-year, $2 million contract, per multiple reports.

Ogunbowale is an eight-year NFL veteran, also playing for the Washington Commanders, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Jacksonville Jaguars. He has spent the last three seasons with the Texans.

Last season, he recorded 30 carries for 112 yards, while hauling in 19 receptions for 198 yards and a touchdown.

Throughout his career, Ogunbowale has established himself as a big special teams contributor. Last season, he logged 269 special teams snaps.

The veteran should continue to provide depth at running back behind Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce and be a valuable special teams asset.

Also, receiver Tank Dell said on Instagram that he had a second surgery on his injured left knee on Wednesday. Dell underwent surgery to repair the ACL. He also underwent surgery on the knee in mid-January.

Dell sustained a dislocated kneecap and multiple torn ligaments and also sustained meniscus damage in a Week 16 loss against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Dell, 25, has 98 catches for 1,376 yards and 10 touchdowns in 25 games over two seasons with Houston.
