Former Texans OC joining Dolphins' coaching staff
Former Houston Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik is set to join the Miami Dolphins' coaching staff as senior passing game coordinator, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Slowik, 37, previously worked with Mike McDaniel as part of both the Washington and San Francisco coaching staffs.
After the Texans' surprising rise in 2023 that ended with an AFC South title and a playoff win, Slowik was a popular name in coaching searches. The Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Seattle Seahawks, and Washington Commanders all interviewed Slowik for their head coaching vacancies before he eventually agreed to a raise to stay in Houston.
However, the Texans offense failed to take a step forward in 2024, finishing No. 22 in yards and No. 19 in points. Injuries played a huge role in those struggles, especially at the wide receiver position, with Stefon Diggs, Nico Collins, and Tank Dell all missing time. Shortly after a 23-14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs, Slowik was fired by Houston.
The Dolphins replaced their wide receivers coach and special teams coordinator after the 2024 season, but retained the rest of the staff. That included quarterbacks coach and pass game coordinator Darrell Bevell, who interviewed for the Las Vegas Raiders' offensive coordinator position, but wasn't hired.
Slowik's brother, Ryan, has been on the Dolphins' coaching staff since 2022 and currently works as the team's defensive backs coach and defensive pass game specialist.

Houston Texans sign former Cleveland Browns star running back Nick Chubb
HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans have signed former Cleveland Browns star running back Nick Chubb, the team announced on Monday. Chubb made four Pro Bowls in seven seasons with Cleveland, but was limited by injuries the past two years. He suffered a left knee injury in Week 2 at Pittsburgh in 2023 and remained sidelined until Week 7 in 2024. He then played in eight games before breaking his foot and finished with 332 yards rushing and four touchdowns. Chubb could join a backfield that features Joe Mixon. The two-time Pro Bowler had 1,016 yards in his first year with Houston after seven seasons in Cincinnati. The Texas won the AFC South at 10-7 before losing at Kansas City in the divisional round of the playoffs. The 29-year-old Chubb has run for 6,843 yards since the Browns selected him in the second round in the 2018 NFL draft. He is third on the team's career list behind Hall of Famers Jim Brown (12,312) and Leroy Kelly (7,274). Chubb rushed for 1,525 yards and 12 TDs in 2022. He has averaged 5.1 yards per carry during his seven seasons. ___
