Overview

  • Chubb will visit Houston on Monday to complete a physical that NFL Network reports is the final step before he signs a one-year contract
  • Cleveland GM Andrew Berry had warned in May that Chubb’s chances of returning were slim after adding Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson in the 2025 draft
  • The four-time Pro Bowler has played only 10 games over the past two seasons due to a torn MCL/ACL in 2023 and a broken foot in December 2024
  • Houston’s running back room already includes Joe Mixon, Dameon Pierce, Dare Ogunbowale and rookie Woody Marks ahead of mandatory minicamp
  • The Texans hope Chubb’s experience and power running will lighten Mixon’s workload and add veteran depth for the 2025 season
