In a significant development for NFL fans, running back Nick Chubb is reportedly on the verge of joining the Houston Texans. This potential signing could reshape the Texans’ backfield as they look to strengthen their roster ahead of the upcoming season.
- Nick Chubb may sign with Texans.
- Chubb's physical is a key factor.
- He played eight games last season.
- Texans have multiple running backs available.
- Chubb was a four-time Pro Bowler.
- Cleveland drafted new running backs this year.
Chubb, 29, had a challenging 2023 season with the Cleveland Browns, appearing in only eight games due to injuries. However, his impressive track record, including four Pro Bowl selections and a second-team All-Pro nod in 2022, makes him a valuable asset. According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, Chubb is expected to finalize his deal with Houston if his physical goes smoothly, which could happen as soon as June 9, 2025.
This potential move raises questions about the Texans’ current running back situation. With Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce both having missed games due to injuries last season, can Chubb provide the stability they need? His addition could be a game-changer for Houston.
- Chubb averaged over 5 yards per carry in his first six seasons.
- The Texans currently have Mixon, Pierce, Marks, and Ogunbowale on their roster.
- Chubb’s signing could signal a shift in the Texans’ offensive strategy.
- Injuries have plagued the Texans’ running back corps in recent seasons.
As the 2025 season approaches, fans should keep an eye on Chubb’s physical and the Texans’ subsequent moves. Will this be the boost Houston needs to make a playoff push?
