Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Texans are expected to sign former Browns RB Nick Chubb to a contract on Monday “if all goes well with his physical.”
Jeremy Fowler reported Sunday that there was mutual interest between the Texans and Chubb, so this isn’t a big surprise.
Chubb will compete for a starting job behind Joe Mixon along with Dameon Pierce, Woody Marks, Dare Ogunbowale and J.J. Taylor.
Mixon and Pierce are currently dealing with minor injuries, so there could be a window for Chubb to show the Texans what he can do in their offense.
Chubb is a few years removed from a devastating knee injury.
Chubb, 29, was drafted by the Browns in the second round out of Georgia in 2018. He was entering the final year of a four-year, $7,383,094 contract when Cleveland signed him to a three-year, $36 million extension back in 2021.
The Browns restructured Chubb’s contract last April, lowering his cap hit in 2024 from $15.85 million to $6.275 million.
In 2024, Chubb appeared in eight games for the Browns and rushed for 291 yards on 93 carries (3.1 YPC) to go along with three touchdowns.
