Running back Nick Chubb is expected to sign with the Houston Texans, pending a successful physical, according to Ian Rapoport from NFL Media. Chubb, 29, had a challenging season with the Cleveland Browns in 2023, participating in only eight games after recovering from a significant knee injury sustained in Week 2. He accumulated 332 rushing yards and three touchdowns, averaging 3.3 yards per carry, along with five receptions for 31 yards and another touchdown. His season ended prematurely due to a broken foot.
Despite having running backs Joe Mixon, Dameon Pierce, Woody Marks, and Dare Ogunbowale on their roster, the Texans have faced injury issues, with both Mixon and Pierce missing games in 2024. Chubb, originally drafted by the Browns in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft, has a notable history, averaging over 5 yards per carry in his first six seasons. However, the Browns’ decision to draft two running backs this spring suggested a change in direction, indicating that the team was ready to move on from him.
Throughout his time with the Browns, Chubb earned a Pro Bowl selection four times and was named a second-team All-Pro in 2022, solidifying his reputation as a top-tier running back. Joining the Texans could offer Chubb a fresh start and an opportunity to contribute significantly, especially given the team’s current running back situation.
