Texans Work Out Alexander Mattison and Hassan Haskins

The team is evaluating health, special‑teams value and on‑field fit as it seeks a reliable third running back for the 2026 roster.

Overview

  • Houston hosted tryouts for veterans Alexander Mattison and Hassan Haskins as part of its ongoing summer evaluations to add depth at running back.
  • The Texans also brought in wide receiver Montrell Washington and defensive tackle Evan Anderson for looks, reflecting a broad search across position groups.
  • Mattison's recent medical history includes a neck injury that required season‑ending surgery, a factor the team is weighing in his evaluation.
  • Haskins offers special‑teams work and kickoff return experience but has produced limited offensive snaps and yards in recent seasons.
  • No signings have been announced and the veterans would compete for a likely RB3 spot behind David Montgomery and Woody Marks against several younger backs on the roster.
