Free agent running back Justin Forsett posted on his Twitter account Saturday that he has agreed to a contract with the Houston Texans. NBC Sports' Pro Football Talk reported last week that the team was going to try out Forsett on Wednesday. If Forsett signs, he would likely back up Arian Foster and Ben Tate as the third tailback on the depth chart. Forsett, 26, rushed for just 145 yards (3.2 per carry) last season for the Seattle Seahawks. He has averaged 4.6 yards per carry with 97 catches during his five-year career, four with Seattle.
