Nick Chubb passes physical, signs one-year, $2.5 million contract with Texans

Veteran running back Nick Chubb has signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Houston Texans. After passing his physical, Chubb, formerly of the Cleveland Browns, joins a backfield that features Joe Mixon, Dameon Pierce, and rookie Woody Marks. The deal includes incentives for Chubb to earn an additional $2.5 million. A standout player, Chubb was a four-time Pro Bowler with a career average of 5.1 yards per carry. However, a severe knee injury in 2023 affected his performance, leading him to sign this "prove-it" deal with the Texans.
