- Look: New Texans RB Nick Chubb debuts at minicamp after signing one-year deal
Nick Chubb is officially with the Houston Texans.
The four-time Pro Bowl running back appeared for the start of mandatory minicamp on Tuesday morning after signing a one-year contract Monday afternoon worth up to $5 million. He will wear the No. 21 to begin his Texans career, though that could change after roster cutdowns.

Here's a look at Cubb debuting in Houston for the start of drills during the Texans' open media session.
The longtime Cleveland Browns running back joins a rushing attack headline by two-time Pro Bowler Joe Mixon, along with Dameon Pierce, Dare Ogunbowale and fourth-round draft pick Woody Marks. Chubb should be a change of pace back and compete for second-team reps with Pierce, who's entering a contract season.
A 2018 second-round pick out of Georgia, Chubb ranks third all-time on the Browns' career rushing list (6,843 yards) after spending the first seven years of his career in Cleveland. Over the past two seasons, he's dealt with multiple lower-body injuries, limiting his playing time and consistency as a premier runner.

Last season in eight games, Chubb ran for 332 yards and recorded career lows in yards per attempt (3.3) and percentage of carries that gained at least 10 yards (4.9%). Since 2023, he's only played in 10 games after suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 2.
The Texans will be back at practice Wednesday for another open media session.
