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. --Field Level Media

2025 Texans offseason roster profile: RB Dameon Pierce
The Houston Texans are officially in offseason mode and we are still weeks away from free agency and the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. Over the next few weeks, Texans Wire will break down each player on the roster who is signed through the 2025 season and their potential moving forward. We will recap their 2024 season, their contract status and what their status is for the coming offseason and 2025 season. Let's continue to talk about the running back room with a recap of Year 3 for Dameon Pierce. With the arrival of Pro Bowler Joe Mixon from Cincinnati, the days of Pierce as the Texans' top back were over. That doesn't mean his role wasn't essential as the change-of-pace No. 2 option. When Mixon missed three games with an ankle injury, Pierce and Cam Akers served as the 1-2 option. Pierce was also a key component on special teams as the Texans' primary kickoff returner, where he averaged 25.6 yards per attempt. In 11 games, Pierce rushed for 293 yards on 40 attempts. He scored a pair of long touchdowns against the New England Patriots in Week 6 and the Tennessee Titans in Week 18 while averaging 7.3 yards per attempt. Entering the final year of his rookie deal, Pierce will earn $1.1 million as his base salary in 2025. The rest of his $203,000 salary will kick in on March 7. He has a $1.3 million cap hit in 2025. Outlook for 2025 Pierce will enter the offseason as the No. 2 back behind Mixon. He will continue in that role, provided he stays healthy, unless he either moves backward in his development or the Texans add another option in free agency or the NFL Draft come April.

Texans Wire Senior Bowl Notebook: Which players could be on Houston's radar?
It was another exciting week of Senior Bowl practices in Mobile, Ala., as some of college football's premier prospects for the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft took the field against each other on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The Senior Bowl has been a bedrock of scouting for the Houston Texans under general manager Nick Caserio, with players such as running back Dameon Pierce, wide receiver Tank Dell, defensive back Jalen Pitre and Pro Bowl receiver Nico Collins previously starring in the event.

Texans Wire's John Crumpler was on the scene with five key Senior Bowl observations to know for Houston fans entering the next stage of the NFL Draft cycle.
