The NFL franchise from Texas shared today that they signed Larry as they waived guard Keaton Sutherland in a reciprocal move.

The running back was a LA Chargers 6th-round selection in 2021, and he played 16 regular campaign matches in the past 2 years. However, Chargers decided to waive him a few days ago.

Rountree has 49 carries for 106 yards and a TD in the games that he played in the NFL. He appeared in the Chargers’ January playoff defeat vs. Jaguars but didn’t play with the ball.

Dameon Pierce is the 1^st choice among running backs in Houston. Larry will compete with Devin Singletary, Mike Boone, Dare Ogunbowale, and Gerrid Dokes for minutes in the upcoming National Football League season.
