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 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.

The Houston Texans were being linked to former Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb. After the pair were reported to be close in signing a deal, the Texans have made a major announcement. More news: Jets Ranked Surprisingly High as Team to Snap Playoff Woes in 2025 According to multiple reports,
