It doesn’t sound like Houston Texans owner Bob McNair wants former Ravens running back Ray Rice to join his team.

“I think I’d want to talk with our players, and I don’t know that that’s something that they would like,” McNair told reporters Thursday. “We want people that fit in our locker room. … We’ve got four good running backs. I don’t know that he’s as good as any of the four we’ve got. I don’t see anybody else trying to sign him, so I think that’s a pretty good indication of where he stands.”

The Texans looked like a potential landing spot for Rice because starting running back Arian Foster suffered a groin injury during training camp that will keep him out for a chunk of the regular season.

Rice has not officially worked out for an NFL team this offseason. He missed all of last season following fallout from a domestic violence incident with his wife in an Atlantic City, N.J., casino elevator.
