• Texans' Dare Ogunbowale: Re-signs with Houston

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  The Texans re-signed Ogunbowale to a one-year, $2 million deal Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. The 30-year-old running back will remain with the Texans after spending the last three seasons in Houston. Ogunbowale provides the team with a reliable third-down back who's also a core player on special teams. He's likely to play a similar role in 2025, serving as the Texans' No. 3 running back behind Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce.

• Texans' Dare Ogunbowale: Regular workload Week 18

  01/06/2025 • By RotoWire

  Ogunbowale had two carries for minus-3 yards and caught two of three targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 23-14 win over the Titans in Week 18. Ogunbowale played 12 snaps, which is a normal workload for the third-string back when all hands are healthy. Starter Joe Mixon was limited to one series while Dameon Pierce took up the bulk of playing time in the regular-season finale. Ogunbowale finished the regular season with 30 carries for 112 yards and 19 receptions (28 targets) for 198 yards and a touchdown catch over 17 games.

• Texans' Dare Ogunbowale: No touches in loss

  Ogunbowale did not have a carry and went untargeted over 13 snaps in Sunday's 32-27 loss to Tennessee in Week 12. Ogunbowale was the lone running back not named Joe Mixon to see time on offense, as Dameon Pierce worked on special teams only. That doesn't suggest Ogunbowale is the top backup to Mixon however, as Pierce would likely be the lead back in case Mixon were injured or unavailable.

  Ogunbowale caught his lone target for 11 yards in Monday's 34-10 victory over the Cowboys. Ogunbowale was limited to a season-low eight snaps, as Houston's offense featured a lot of Joe Mixon (22 touches, four targets). With Dameon Pierce returning from a two-game absence Monday, Ogunbowale was back to third on the depth chart, although he got more snaps (eight) than Pierce (four). The reception was Ogunbowale's first in six weeks.

  Ogunbowale had one carry for 11 yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions. Ogunbowale once again served as the top backup to Joe Mixon, as Dameon Pierce (hamstring) missed a second straight contest. It was the sixth game this year Pierce has been inactive due to injury. Ogunbowale was on the field for 15 snaps, while Mixon dominated backfield playing time as per usual. Since Mixon returned from an injury in Week 6, Ogunbowale has six rushes for 28 yards and has failed to catch any of his five targets.
