The Houston Texans have signed former Cleveland Browns star running back Nick Chubb. Chubb made four Pro Bowls in seven seasons with Cleveland, but was limited by injuries the past two years.

Chubb will join a Texans backfield that already features Joe Mixon, who joined Houston on a three-year, $25 million contract from the Cincinnati Bengals last offseason. Mixon made his second career Pro Bowl in 2024 after tallying 1,325 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns while averaging 4.1 yards per carry.

The irony of Chubb ending up with Houston is that the No. 35 overall pick in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft that Cleveland used to pick him came from the Texans. The Browns acquired the pick in exchange for Houston taking on the Brock Osweiler contract.
