Chubb rushed for 996 yards in his rookie year and followed with over 1,000 yards on the ground for four straight years from 2019-2022.

He suffered a devastating knee injury during a Week 2 Monday Night Football game against Pittsburgh in 2023. It forced him to miss the rest of the season.

Chubb returned in 2024, but his season was cut short due to a broken foot.

He had 6,843 career rushing yards and 51 rushing touchdowns, both rank third in Browns history. That is behind NFL Hall of Famers Jim Brown and Leroy Kelly.

Rapoport reports that Chubb will undergo a physical with Houston on Monday.

If Chubb passes, he will join a backfield that includes former Cincinnati Bengal Joe Mixon.
