Brown agreed to terms with the Texans on Monday, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports. Brown was signed Monday along with fellow running back William Powell, both of whom will compete for a job backing up starter Arian Foster. They'll have to go through both Jonathan Grimes and rookie Alfred Blue in order to work their way up the depth chart. Brown has carried the ball 1,261 times over nine NFL season, but the Texans believe he has enough left in the tank to serve as a quality backup in 2014.
