The Houston Texans are no longer set to add veteran running back Pierre Thomas, as his agent Lamont Smith said Wednesday the sides were unable to agree to terms on a contract.

The team was originally planning to sign Thomas following a successful workout, reported Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle.

The addition of Thomas would have given the Texans a capable ball carrier while Arian Foster recovers from a groin injury suffered earlier this week, but the Texans will now likely turn elsewhere on the free-agent market.

Thomas, who remains a free agent, spent his first eight seasons with the New Orleans Saints. He produced 222 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 45 carries last season, along with 378 yards receiving and a score on 45 catches.
