NFL Fans React to Breaking Nick Chubb News originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
In the early part of his career, Nick Chubb established himself as one of the most powerful, consistent running backs in the NFL. After rushing for 6,341 yards while scoring 48 rushing touchdowns through his first five seasons of his career, injuries proceeded to take over.
Chubb, now 29 years old, has missed 24 total games in his past two seasons due to multiple injuries. Since 2023, Chubb has missed time due to a torn ACL, MCL, and a broken foot.
The once dominant Cleveland Browns RB, has reportedly found a new home for the impending NFL season.
According to multiple sources, Chubb, pending a physical, will sign with the Houston Texans ahead of the 2025-26 NFL season.
Chubb will join Joe Mixon in the backfield, adding to an already talented roster that consists of Nico Collins, Christian Kirk, and Dalton Schultz.
The instant the news broke of Chubb's potential new deal, NFL fans rushed to social media to post their reactions.
"Bro is still dangerous," @SleeperHQ posted on X.
Another user on X, is more concerned on the impact this has on Chubb's former team, "Browns are fully cooked."
@BetMGM posted a throwback to a dominant touchdown run by Chubb back in 2019.
Another user on X appears to think this is a major upgrade to the Texans backfield, giving them a strong one-two punch, "Chubb and Mixon is a nasty duo.
The deal is pending a physical that will reportedly take place on Monday. Chubb's 2024-25 NFL season ended after just eight games due to a broken left foot.
If all goes well with Chubb's physical and rehabilitation, Chubb could make his Texans debut early on in the 2025-26 NFL season.
