Texans Officially Sign Nick Chubb to One-Year Deal

Monday, June 9, 6:53 PM

The Houston Texans officially signed free-agent running back Nick Chubb to a one-year, $2.5 million deal on Monday that could be worth up to $5 million, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Chubb passed a physical after a gruesome left-knee injury in 2023 that required multiple surgeries. The former Cleveland Browns Pro Bowler was one of the most powerful backs in the league before his injury, as he went for a career-high 1,525 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on 302 carries in 2022. He managed to play in just eight games last year, though, and wasn't the same, averaging a career-low 3.3 yards per carry with 332 rushing yards and three scores on 102 rushing attempts. Chubb also fractured his left foot in Week 15 last year, so he may never be the same explosive back he once was. Now in Houston, he'll be competing with Dameon Pierce for RB2 duties behind starter Joe Mixon.

Stefon Diggs Looks Good "Running Routes and Cutting"

Saturday, June 7, 8:08 PM

According to former New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan, wideout Stefon Diggs (knee) has looked good during OTAs, so much so that he didn't remember the infamous Memorial Day boating video. "I've already forgotten about the boat video. I thought [Diggs] looked great," said Hogan. "It's earlier, I think, than most people expected coming back from an ACL injury. I love the way he's looking running routes and cutting." The veteran will presumably miss time to begin the 2025-26 campaign after tearing his ACL in Week 8 while still a member of the Houston Texans. Although it's still early, it appears Diggs at least has a chance to exceed expectations on a timetable to return, which would undoubtedly be good news for quarterback Drake Maye, who is hoping to improve in his second season in the National Football League.
