Joe Mixon’s role as the Texans' featured RB is in question with Nick Chubb in the fold. Even in his diminished state, Chubb is an upgrade to Mixon's understudies from last seaso

Houston will sign former Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb to a one-year contract if Chubb passes his physical with the Texans on Monday, per multiple reports. Chubb, 29, missed most of 2023 after a season-ending injury in Week 2, and he logged just eight games last season before a broken foot ended his season in Week 15.

As Fowler noted, the Browns added a pair of running backs in the draft in Ohio State's Quinshon Judkins and Tennessee's Dylan Sampson. With the addition of those two, Chubb's return to Cleveland would mean a crowded backfield.
