Texans Claim RB Cody Schrader, Waive Jakob Johnson After Chubb Injury

Overview

• Houston claimed Cody Schrader off waivers from the Jaguars on Dec. 8 to bolster depth at running back.
• Nick Chubb was ruled out Sunday with a rib injury, and Woody Marks exited late after a hard hit.
• In a corresponding move, the Texans waived fullback Jakob Johnson, with local reporting noting he could return on the practice squad if he clears waivers.
• Schrader has appeared in two NFL games with the Rams and brings familiarity with Caley from their time together in Los Angeles.
• The Texans take on the Cardinals in Week 15 while monitoring injury updates, and they assume the remainder of Schrader’s one-year, $2 million contract as Joe Mixon remains on Reserve/NFI.
