Houston Texans RB depth chart after team signs Nick Chubb
Houston Texans RB depth chart after team signs Nick Chubb Show Caption Hide Caption Will Anderson Jr. breaks down upcoming season for Houston Texans Mackenzie Salmon chats with Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. about the upcoming season and his partnership with USAA. Sports Seriously The Houston Texans are expected to sign former Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb to a one-year deal, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. But where does Chubb fit on the team's running backs depth chart? Chubb is the second former starter for an AFC North team that the Texans are poaching in two offseasons. Last year, the team traded for former Bengals starter Joe Mixon, who took over the starting gig in Houston. Mixon earned his second career Pro Bowl nod after a season with 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns. The addition of Chubb also means the Texans will face a roster crunch at the running back position soon. Chubb will be the fifth running back on a team that just spent a fourth-round pick on adding depth to the backfield, re-signed Dare Ogunbowale earlier in the offseason and signed Mixon to a three-year extension last year. NICK CHUBB: Veteran expected to sign with Houston Texans pending physical Houston Texans RB depth chart The Texans will have five running backs on their roster once the Chubb signing becomes official. Joe Mixon Nick Chubb Dameon Pierce Woody Marks Dare Ogunbowale Mixon was one of the Texans' biggest offensive acquisitions last offseason. The team traded a seventh-round pick to Cincinnati for the veteran then granted him a three-year, $27 million extension. Mixon immediately took over the top spot in the Texans' backfield and recorded 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns on 245 rush attempts. In 14 games – he missed Weeks 3 through 5 with an ankle injury – he averaged 4.1 yards per carry in 14 games. Chubb is the team's latest acquisition, a late free agency signing as the team prepares for its mandatory veteran minicamp, which starts Tuesday. In eight games during the 2024 season, Chubb compiled 332 yards on 102 rushes (3.3 yards per carry) and three rushing touchdowns. He also caught five passes for 31 yards and added a receiving touchdown as well. The former Brown is coming off of a season-ending broken foot and two straight seasons playing in fewer than 10 games. In 2022, Pierce, a fourth-round rookie, took over the Texans' starting running back role. He went on to rush for 939 yards and four touchdowns on 220 attempts (4.3 yards per carry) but suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 13. After a slow start to the 2023 season and another ankle injury, Pierce was supplanted as the Texans' starter by Devin Singletary, and he remained relegated to the backup role behind Mixon last year. Marks was the Texans' fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He's coming off of an excellent final year at USC where he tallied career-high marks with 1,133 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. Marks also finished 2024 with 321 receiving yards on 47 catches. Ogunbowale is a more significant contributor to Houston's special teams units than he is on offense, but he still started a game last year on offense and rushed for 112 yards on 30 carries (3.7 average yards per carry). The Texans extended him on a one-year, $1.8 million deal this offseason.

Road rage incident leads to 2 arrests in Hartsville area, deputies say
DARLINGTON COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) — Two men were arrested following a November road rage incident in the Hartsville area where one man pulled a gun and the other impersonated a law enforcement officer, the Darlington County Sheriff's Office said. Charles Mixon Jr. was charged with impersonating a law enforcement officer and was arrested Wednesday. John Walters III was charged with reckless driving and breach of peace high and aggravated and was arrested Thursday. The incident happened on Nov. 11, when Mixon and Walters were driving on West Bobo Newsom Highway, arrest warrants said. Walters was driving a 2023 Indian Scout motorcycle and Mixon was driving a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado. Walters drove beside Mixon and attempted to get his attention, warrants show. He then weaved from one lane to another, tailgated Mixon, then weaved again and chased down the truck to drive along side of it. Mixon later stopped at a local business, and Walters followed him there, the sheriff's office said. The two began to argue, and Walters pulled a gun. In response, Mixon pulled out a retired law enforcement badge and verbally signed that he was a police officer, according to an arrest warrant. The incident is being investigated by the Darlington County Sheriff's Office, and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is assisting. * * * Jordan White is a Digital Producer at News13.

NFL Combine: Texans meet with UNC RB Omarion Hampton, compares play style to Joe Mixon
NFL Combine: Texans meet with UNC RB Omarion Hampton, compares play style to Joe Mixon North Carolina star running back Omarion Hampton probably enjoys watching film of multiple star running backs. Saquon Barkley, Alvin Kamari and Jahymr Gibbs are just a few names the former Tar Heels star has likely modeled his play style after over the past three seasons in Chapel Hill. But one name he constantly finds himself watching? Houston Texans Pro Bowl running back Joe Mixon. "I like his game a lot. Just the way plays," Hampton said Friday at the NFL Combine. "He loves contact. He can make them miss. He can really do everything." If all goes according to plan, the former North Carolina runner could be spitting carries with Mixon in 2025. The Texans met with Hampton ahead of his workouts on Saturday. Running back isn't a premier need for the Texans after Mixon inked a three-year extension last offseason, but new offensive coordinator Nick Caley could be tempted to shore up stability in the running game long-term. Despite rushing for over 1,000 yards, Mixon missed three games with an ankle injury and will turn 30 next season. Dameon Peirce is also entering the final year of his rookie contract and Dare Ogunbowale is set to hit free agency. After 2025, Mixon and rookie Jawhar Jordan, who spent most of the season on the practice squad, are the only two names under contract. Hampton is among the top of the group at running back following his final season in the ACC. As the focal point of the Tar Heels' offense, for 1,660 yards and 15 touchdowns, while adding 373 yards and two touchdowns this year as a receiver. Keep in mind Hampton isn't a one-year wonder. During his first season with Drake Maye in 2023, he rushed for 1,504 yards with 15 touchdowns while averaging over 6.0 yards per attempt. It seems far-fetched for the Texans to draft a running back with an early selection, but if the team can fix its major woes in free agency, anything is possible. The Texans have been known to trade down in the past, so if Hampton were to fall in their laps among the mid-40s, it could be a possibility.
