And while there is obviously a lot of time to see if the signing will truly pay off for Houston, Chubb’s showing in his preseason debut went about as well as the Texans likely hoped.</p><p>He rushed for 25 yards on 5 carries and looked more like his old self — before he suffered a season-ending and career-altering knee injury in 2023. And after the game, Houston head coach DeMeco Ryans <a href="https://www.click2houston.com/sports/2025/08/17/physical-brand-of-football-running-behind-his-pads-how-texans-nick-chubb-line-delivered-encouraging-performance/" rel="noopener">had high praise for the</a> running back.</p><p>“Chubb did a really nice job playing physical, running behind his pads,” Ryans said, via KPRC 2’s Aaron Wilson. “I just like the way the whole team played a physical brand of football, the type of football I expect us to play and I’m really proud of the guys for that. Just really, really proud of the offensive line again. I think this is the second week in a row now that they’re just improving, they’re getting better.”</p><p>Chubb himself said that he thought his debut with the Texans “went good.”</p><p>“I think as a whole, the whole team played well. Offensively, the big guys up front did a good job getting push, opening up holes. For me, I haven’t played since December, so a lot of anxiety, a lot a nerves, but it felt good to go out and get tackled again,” Chubb said, via KRPC 2.</p><p>Drafted 35th overall by the Browns in 2018, Chubb quickly established himself as the primary back for Cleveland. He started nine games and played in all 16 as a rookie, rushing for 996 yards and scoring 10 touchdowns before breaking out the following year with 1,494 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns. Despite playing just 12 games in his third season, he rushed for more than 1,000 yards and a career-high 12 touchdowns.</p><p>Unfortunately, after arguably the best year of his career, Chubb suffered a horrific knee injury early in the 2023 season, which sidelined him for more than a year. He played just two games in 2023 and eight in 2024 before becoming a free agent this past offseason. The Browns opted for a makeover of their running back room, drafting both Ohio State’s Quinshon Judkins and Tennessee’s Dylan Sampson, effectively <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/browns-news-cleveland-gm-says-nick-chubb-returning-is-increasingly-unlikely">making a statement on Chubb’s potential return</a>.</p><p>Chubb’s deal with the Texans is for one year and $2.5 million.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After two injury-plagued seasons, Chubb insists he can remain among the NFL’s elite well into his 30s, placing himself in the same conversation as Baltimore Ravens star Derrick Henry.</p><p>Chubb, 29, pointed to Henry’s production last season — a league-record 1,921 rushing yards for a running back aged 30 or older — as <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45900564/houston-texans-rb-nick-chubb-dominant-joe-mixon-out" rel="noopener">proof that age doesn’t necessarily mean decline.</a></p><p>“[Henry] is different. You are not gonna put him in that category, he showed it’s not true,” Chubb said to ESPN. “And I think that applies for me. I’m in the category with them. I’m different, and I feel good as I have been.”</p><p>The Texans signed Chubb to a one-year, $2.5 million contract, with incentives that could bring the top line of the deal to $5 million, as they intended to complement him in the backfield with Joe Mixon. However, Chubb’s <a href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25233309-texans-nick-chubb-says-he-belongs-derrick-henry-category-entering-age-30-season" rel="noopener">road to returning to form has some severe limitations.</a> Because of multiple knee surgeries in 2023 and a broken foot in 2024, he managed only 10 games and 502 rushing yards in his final two years with the Cleveland Browns.</p><p>Houston head coach DeMeco Ryans acknowledged Chubb’s challenges but praised his preparation and physical style.</p><p>“He’s always been a tremendous football player, especially when he’s healthy, so he’s still working his way back, looks like he’s in really good shape, and he’ll continue to get better,” Ryans said.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/houston-texans/texans-news-joe-mixon-concerning-injury-update-training-camp">Mixon’s foot injury — which could sideline him for Week 1</a> — might open the door for Chubb to take on a bigger role from the start. Although he recently missed consecutive practices after taking a hit to the head, returning before Mixon would give him the first opportunity to lead the Texans’ rushing attack when they face the Los Angeles Rams on September 7.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Veteran back Nick Chubb <a href="https://x.com/AaronWilson_NFL/status/1953459163717087434" rel="noopener">missed his second straight practice</a> due to a head injury suffered earlier in the week. This injury casts <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/houston-texans/2-hottest-texans-takes-2025-minicamp">doubt over his availability for Week 1</a> as the team continues to navigate Joe Mixon’s recovery from a foot injury.</p><p>Chubb, acquired by Houston this offseason, was initially brought in to back up Mixon. But with Mixon still sidelined and placed on the non-football injury list. The 28-year-old Chubb appeared poised to carry the load heading into the season opener against the Los Angeles Rams. That plan is now on hold as Chubb remains in concussion protocol after taking a hard hit.</p><p>“He’s been consistent. He’s getting better every day,” head coach DeMeco Ryans said earlier this week, expressing optimism about Chubb’s overall progress. But that tone now shifts to concern, as the Texans must prepare contingency plans for the backfield.</p><p>The injury is the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/houston-texans/houston-texans-biggest-reason-to-panic-after-start-of-2025-nfl-training-camp">latest in a long line of setbacks for Chubb</a>, who missed most of the 2023 season with a devastating knee injury. Despite multiple surgeries and a long rehabilitation process, the four-time Pro Bowler still showed flashes of his signature power during limited action in 2024, rushing for 332 yards and three scores across eight games.</p><h2><b>The Texans are leaning on their running back depth during training camp</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Nick-Chubb-Texans-2.jpg"><figcaption>Maria Lysaker-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>With both Mixon and Chubb uncertain for the opener, Houston is leaning on depth and youth. Rookie backs Woody Marks and Jawhar Jordan have drawn praise from Ryans, who described Marks’ vision and Jordan’s speed as promising signs.</p><p>Meanwhile, Dameon Pierce, recently activated from the PUP list, is back in the mix and could reclaim a significant role. Pierce, a former starter, took first-team reps in Chubb’s absence on Wednesday.</p><p>For a Texans offense built around quarterback C.J. Stroud, ensuring a stable running game is critical.

He earned his degree from Florida Atlantic University in 2023 and has been covering the school's athletic programs since 2020, having served as a Sports Editor at the FAU University Press. He was granted the unique opportunity to report on the men's basketball team's journey to the Final Four in Houston for FAU Owls Nest during March Madness, consistently striving to grow as a sports journalist.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Cleveland Browns</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Running back Nick Chubb sent an emotional farewell letter to the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/browns-news-nick-chubb-tribute-cleveland">Cleveland Browns following his departure</a> as he joins the Houston Texans.</p><p>Chubb leaves the Browns after seven seasons, moving on from the franchise that drafted him in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He became a key component in the offense, having four straight seasons of 1,000 or more rushing yards from 2019 to 2022.</p><p>After officially signing with the Texans, Chubb addressed the Browns community in an emotional farewell letter on social media. He <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DK0h7d2PHC2/?e=9288f38f-1e79-4218-87b0-e219acdfca08&amp;g=5" rel="noopener">thanked the fans for supporting him</a> and the team’s journey over the years, which saw two playoff appearances in his time there.</p><p>“This city deserves a winning season every year. It’s earned it. This city doesn’t quit. The people never stop believing. And my Brothers in that locker room, will never stop fighting. Cleveland’s time is now… and not because they are owed anything, but because RESILIENCE ALWAYS WINS. Just like we preached everyday in meetings,” Chubb said.</p><p>“This isn’t goodbye to what we built; it’s a thank you. For the trust, the passion, and the moments that made me feel like I belonged here from day one. Cleveland, you’ll always have a piece of my heart. Until we meet again.”</p><h2><b>What’s next for Browns after Nick Chubb’s departure?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Cleveland-Browns-running-back-Nick-Chubb-24-warms-up.jpg"><figcaption>Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/browns-news-myles-garrett-emotional-blow-nick-chubb-exit">Browns community will wish Nick Chubb the best</a> as he begins a new chapter with the Texans.</p><p>2024 and 2025 have been tough years for Chubb. He went down with a season-ending injury in Week 2 of the 2024 campaign, sidelining him for the year. 2025 saw him return to the Browns’ rotation as he made eight appearances, making 102 rushes for 332 yards and three touchdowns. He also caught five passes for 31 yards and a score.</p><p>With his departure, the Browns will move on with a mostly different rotation. Jerome Ford is on pace to be the team’s full-time starter at the position. Pierre Strong Jr., Dylan Sampson, and rookie Quinshon Jenkins would likely follow suit in that order.</p><p>The Browns look to return to playoff contention after a unlucky 2024 season. They finished 3-14, being at the bottom of the AFC North Division standings.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Instead, they let the four-time Pro Bowl running back walk in free agency and Chubb ultimately landed with the Houston Texans on a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/houston-texans/texans-news-nick-chubb-officially-lands-houston-incentive-laced-deal">one-year, $2.5 million deal</a> that includes performance-based incentives.</p><p>There was some concern regarding Chubb’s recent injury history, which limited the former second-team All-Pro to 10 games total over the last two seasons. However, Chubb is <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/new-texans-rb-nick-chubb-previous-injuries-all-behind-me" rel="noopener">not worried</a>.</p><p>“That’s all behind me. Injuries happen… With what I did, it takes about two years to get back. So, I’m over the hump. Now, I’m feeling as good as I have in a long time,” Chubb said, per Kevin Patra of NFL.com.</p><h2><b>Now healthy, Nick Chubb is ready to bounce back with Texans</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Nick-Chubb-2_955db0.jpg"><figcaption>Maria Lysaker-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/browns-news-nick-chubb-suffers-gruesome-leg-injury-carted-off-field">Chubb suffered a horrific knee injury</a> in Week 2 of the 2023 season. He was eventually diagnosed with a torn MCL and damaged ACL. The injury ended his season and kept him sidelined for the first six games of 2024. Then, when Chubb was healthy enough to take the field last year, he only lasted eight games before sustaining a season-ending foot injury.</p><p>However, prior to the IR stints that have dominated Chubb’s career over the last two seasons, the seven-year veteran established himself as one of the best running backs in the NFL. Chubb rushed for at least 996 yards and averaged nearly 10 touchdowns in each of his first five seasons in the league. He strung together four straight 1,000-yard campaigns from 2019-2022. That’s the player the Texans believe they acquired.</p><p>Former Browns teammate <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/browns-news-myles-garrett-emotional-blow-nick-chubb-exit">Myles Garrett was saddened by the loss of Chubb</a>. The star defensive end acknowledged that his departure was a blow to the team. Cleveland selected Chubb in the second round (35th overall) of the 2018 draft. He finished his Browns career with 7,885 total yards and 56 touchdowns in 85 games.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/houston-texans/texans-news-fans-thanking-browns-again-nick-chubb-move">Texans fans are grateful to the Browns</a> for letting Chubb go. Houston had already benefited from the lopsided Deshaun Watson trade, which netted the Texans three first-round picks. Now Cleveland allowed Chubb to sign with Houston.</p><p>While the veteran back believes he’s fully healthy, he’s unlikely to receive a massive workload with the Texans. The team already has Joe Mixon in the backfield and the two-time Pro Bowler is coming off a strong debut in Houston, rushing for 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns in 14 games.</p><p>The Texans will employ both backs in 2025. The shared duties should help to prevent injury and keep both RBs fresh for a potential postseason run.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
