Nick Chubb Expected to Sign With Houston Texans

Veteran running back Nick Chubb is expected to sign with the Houston Texans on Monday, pending a successful physical, after spending his entire career with the Cleveland Browns. Chubb, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, is attempting a comeback from a major knee injury in 2023 and a broken foot in 2024, which limited him to 332 rushing yards and three touchdowns last season. The Browns have moved on from Chubb by drafting two running backs and restructuring their roster, making a return highly unlikely. In Houston, Chubb would join a backfield led by Joe Mixon, and he is expected to compete with Dameon Pierce and rookie Woody Marks for playing time. The Texans see Chubb as a veteran presence who can provide leadership, depth, and contribute big plays to a playoff-contending team. If healthy, Chubb could significantly enhance Houston’s running game and overall offensive versatility.
