Former Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb has passed his physical and will sign with the Houston Texans.

The physical was the last step for Chubb joining the team and creating a one-two punch in the backfield with Joe Mixon.

Chubb has dealt with injuries over the past two seasons, as he suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 2 of the 2023 season and a broken foot in Week 15 of the 2024 season.

However, when the 29-year-old is on the field, he is still a productive running back. He may not be the Pro Bowler he once was, but Chubb could fit well in the Texans' offense alongside their star running back, Mixon.

In the 2024 season, Chubb rushed for 332 yards and three touchdowns, as well as five receptions for 31 yards and a touchdown.

He only appeared in eight games due to injuries, but showed flashes of still being an effective running back, including a two-touchdown performance in Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

With Chubb passing his physical, the Texans have officially formed a great one-two punch with Mixon, who could help elevate their offense around star quarterback C.J. Stroud.
