Evan Hull: Everything you need to know

The Texans signed Hull on Monday. Hull played in six games for the Saints during the 2025 season, logging 19 rush attempts for 48 yards. The running back also produced some special teams value in his outings, adding 179 yards as a kick returner. Rushing depth will be key for a Texans offense that just reworked the offensive line, so any depth additions to solidify the room will help them develop the consistent rushing attack they were missing in 2025.

The Saints waived Hull on Monday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Hull played in six games for the Saints during the 2025 season due to the absence of Alvin Kamara. The former rushed for 48 yards over 19 attempts and caught his sole target for six yards. The 2023 fifth-round pick now will be subject to waivers, only becoming a free agent if he remains unclaimed for 24 hours.

Hull totaled two rushes for 11 yards during Sunday's 19-17 defeat against the Falcons. Hull once again played second fiddle behind Audric Estime, who tallied 21 carries for 63 yards. The Saints were without their top three running backs over the final three weeks of the regular season, as Alvin Kamara (knee) remained inactive while Kendre Miller (knee) and Devin Neal (hamstring) finished the year on IR. Hull tallied just nine carries over this span, finishing the 2025 campaign with 19 rushing attempts for 48 yards over six appearances. He joined the Saints' practice squad in late October before being signed to the active roster Nov. 25.
