New Texans RB Nick Chubb: Previous injuries 'all behind me'

Nick Chubb, formerly a powerhouse running back for the Cleveland Browns, is aiming for a comeback with the Houston Texans after a severe knee injury derailed his 2023 season. Chubb, who recently signed a one-year deal worth up to $5 million with the Texans, feels he's regained his form after a two-year recovery period. Despite a lackluster return last season, averaging 3.3 yards per carry, Chubb is optimistic about his prospects with the Texans, where he will join a backfield led by Joe Mixon. While Chubb believes he's fully recovered, at 30, questions remain about whether he can return to his Pro Bowl level. The Texans' prove-it contract reflects the uncertainties surrounding his recovery, but Chubb is motivated by the opportunity to contribute to the team's success.
