Chubb, who inked a one-year deal worth $2.5 million earlier this week, will likely serve as the secondary runner behind Mixon to begin his career. Mixon is expected to be fully healthy by the time the season rolls around, but he missed three games during the 2024 regular season, meaning Chubb could see significant reps.

Houston signed ex-Bengals running back Joe Mixon last offseason and could look to add another former AFC North ballcarrier in Chubb. Both Mixon and his backup, Dameon Pierce, missed at least three games last year with minimal production from Cam Akers and Dare Ogunbowale further down the depth chart.
