Overview

• Chubb rushed five times for 25 yards, averaging 5.0 yards per carry with a long run of nine yards in his Texans debut.
• Coach DeMeco Ryans lauded Chubb’s pad-level style as a key component of Houston’s revitalized ground game.
• After not playing since December, Chubb admitted he felt anxiety before the game but said the contact boosted his confidence.
• With Joe Mixon managing an ankle and foot issue and the Texans’ revamped offensive line delivering improved run blocking, Chubb is positioned for significant early-season snaps.
• His one-year, $2.5 million deal represents a low-risk investment in a four-time Pro Bowler aiming to recapture form following a 2023 knee injury and a late-2024 foot fracture.
