Reports: RB Nick Chubb expected to sign with Texans
June 9 - It appears Nick Chubb's seven-year tenure with the Cleveland Browns is over as the four-time Pro Bowl selection is expected to sign with the Houston Texans pending a Monday physical, multiple media outlets reported on Sunday.
Per an ESPN report, Chubb's deal would be for the 2025 season.
Chubb, 29, was one of the NFL's top running backs from 2019-22, but knee and foot injuries limited him to 10 games over the past two seasons. In 2024, he played in eight games and rushed for 332 yards and three scores.
If he does join the Texans, Chubb would join a backfield led by fellow star Joe Mixon, coming off his second Pro Bowl campaign and his fifth 1,000-yard season.
Mixon, 28, posted 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns on the ground along with 36 grabs for 309 yards and a score in 2024, but had little help behind him. Pairing Chubb and Mixon would providde the Texans with a formidable duo, provided Chubb can stay on the field.
Along with Mixon, the Texans have Dameon Pierce, Dare Ogunbowale and fourth-round pick Woody Marks from Southern California in their running back room.
If Chubb had stayed in Cleveland, playing time would likely have been an issue. The Browns have Jerome Ford and selected Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins in the second round of this year's draft before adding Tennessee rusher Dylan Sampson in the fourth.
A second-round pick out of Georgia in the 2018 draft, Chubb posted four 1,000-yard rushing seasons and had 1,340 carries for 6,843 yards (5.1 yards per carry) for 51 touchdowns, along with 128 receptions for 1,042 yards and five scores.
Chubb ranks third in Browns franchise history with 6,843 rushing yards behind Pro Football Hall of Fame members Jim Brown and Leroy Kelly.

Michael Johnson cancels Grand Slam Track's LA meet amid financial concerns
Michael Johnson will cancel the fourth and final meet of the inaugural Grand Slam Track season amid financial concerns. Athletes and their representatives will be updated in a Zoom call on Thursday amid silence in the build-up to the LA leg scheduled for 28-29 June, as per The Times, after competing 'challenger' athletes were not announced ahead of time as per the three previous meets.
