Nick Chubb - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Free agency awaits Chubb had four carries for 14 yards and failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 28-16 playoff loss to New England.

Impact Chubb finished up his first season in Houston with 122 carries for 506 yards rushing and three touchdowns. He added 13 catches on 20 targets for 67 yards. Chubb was meant to back up Joe Mixon (foot) but opened atop the depth chart, as Mixon's injury prevented him from playing at all in 2025. The Texans eventually gave Woody Marks the lead role while Chubb served as the backup and averaged just 4.4 carries over the final seven weeks of the regular season. The 31-year-old Chubb enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, and Houston is expected to reassess the backfield.

Gets extra run in garbage time Chubb rushed 10 times for 48 yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Monday's 30-6 wild-card game win over the Steelers.

Impact Chubb took a back seat to rookie starter Woody Marks (19-112-1) as he had been doing in the second half of the regular season. It was the veteran backup's first game with double-digit carries since Week 9 of the regular season. Six of his 10 carries against Pittsburgh came in garbage time late in the fourth quarter, so DFS players should not expect this kind of workload from Chubb against the Patriots in the divisional round.

Slated for RB2 duties Chubb is set to serve as the Texans' RB2 behind Woody Marks for Monday's AFC wild-card game against the Steelers after Jawhar Jordan (ankle) was ruled out.

Impact Chubb saw just one carry in two of his last three games in the regular season before being rested for Week 18 against the Colts. He opened the season as the Texans' top running back and logged double-digit carries in six of Houston's first eight games, but he has since been surpassed by the rookie Marks. Dare Ogunbowale and British Brooks will also be on hand to provide backfield depth behind Chubb and Marks.

Set for RB2 role if Jordan's out Chubb wasn't listed on Thursday's injury report, while Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports that Jawhar Jordan (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Friday.

Impact Chubb was rested in the regular-season finale against the Colts, but his absence from the injury report confirms the notion that he was inactive in Week 18 due to a coach's decision and will be available for Monday's wild-card round playoff game against the Steelers. Jordan sustained a high-ankle sprain in the Week 18 win over the Colts and looks unlikely to suit up Monday, paving the way for Chubb to reclaim the top backup role behind Woody Marks. Dare Ogunbowale and British Brooks round out Houston's running back depth chart.

Minimal use in win Chubb had one carry for one yard on five snaps in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers in Week 17.

Impact Chubb was impacted by the presence of Woody Marks (44 snaps), who returned to the lineup following two weeks of inactivity due to an ankle injury. A playing-time split that favored Marks is not surprising, but that Chubb finished behind Jawhar Jordan (11 snaps) is a more recent development, one that started Week 16. Chubb has just eight carries and one reception for a combined 46 yards from scrimmage over the last three games.

Raiders' potential draft dilemma: Winning games could cost them a chance at a franchise QB

The Raiders nearly pulled off a win against Houston on Sunday, losing 23-21 but showing their best performance in weeks

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • Associated Press

Gains 42 yards Sunday Chubb (ribs) took six carries for 33 yards and caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Raiders.

Impact Chubb returned from a one-game absence in time to help fill in for injured starter Woody Marks (ankle). Although it was Jawhar Jordan -- signed from the practice squad earlier this week -- who led the Texans in backfield touches (20) and total production (70 yards) Sunday. Chubb has been a shell of his former self while attempting to fill the void left by Joe Mixon (foot/ankle) in Houston's backfield this season, producing a 121-505-3 rushing line across 15 active games. With Marks potentially returning in Week 17, Chubb's value is limited to deep formats only for Saturday's tilt against the Chargers.

Active versus Raiders Chubb (ribs) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact Despite practicing fully both Thursday and Friday, Chubb -- who was inactive in Week 15 -- was deemed questionable for the contest, as was fellow RB Woody Marks (ankle), who was limited Friday. With Marks having been made inactive versus Las Vegas, look for Chubb to have an opportunity to lead Houston's backfield in the absence of any setbacks, while 5-foot-10, 186-pounder Jawhar Jordan -- who was productive while handling added snaps in Week 15 when Chubb was inactive and Marks exited early -- is also in line for an expanded workload, and Dare Ogunbowale is another candidate to mix in.

Could serve as lead runner Week 16 Chubb (ribs) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders but could be in line to serve as the Texans' top ball carrier in Week 16 with Woody Marks (ankle)...

Impact Before sitting out the Texans' Week 15 win over the Cardinals due to a ribs injury, Chubb had begun to cede more work on the ground to Marks over his most recent appearances. However, Marks exited the Week 15 game early due to an ankle injury of his own, then sat out practices Wednesday and Thursday before returning to the field Friday as a limited participant. Like Chubb, Marks is listed as questionable, and though he had been pushing to play Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston relays that the Texans plan to have the rookie rest his ankle this week. Assuming Chubb -- who practiced fully Thursday and Friday -- is officially cleared upon the release of Houston's inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, he could take on the brunt of the carries out of the backfield with Marks out of the picture. Meanwhile, Jawhar Jordan is also expected to have a role in the game plan after a 15-carry, 101-yard performance in Week 15, and Dare Ogunbowale could see more involvement on passing downs.

In line to suit up Sunday Chubb (ribs), who is officially questionable for Sunday's Week 16 clash against Las Vegas, is likely to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Chubb missed Houston's win over Arizona last Sunday, but it appears his absence won't extend beyond that one game. His likely ability to play against the Raiders could carry significantly more weight if No. 1 RB Woody Marks (ankle) is unable to suit up. If Marks doesn't play, Chubb could potentially work as the Texans' lead back, though Jawhar Jordan may have earned that honor with his 15-carry, 101-yard performance in his NFL debut last Sunday. Even if Marks does manage to take the field, Chubb and Jordan could factor in more than usual given the former's ankle issue and a potential blowout against the 2-12 Raiders.

Questionable after full practice Chubb (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders after practicing fully Thursday and Friday.

Impact Chubb was inactive for the Texans' Week 15 win over the Cardinals, but he appears to be trending toward a return to action Sunday following back-to-back full practices. Meanwhile, fellow RB Woody Marks (ankle) -- who didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday -- has also been deemed questionable after logging a limited session Friday. In any case, the Week 16 status of both players is slated to be confirmed once Houston's inactives are posted ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Chubb's fantasy lineup viability this weekend hinges on Marks' availability, with Jawhar Jordan a candidate to see added snaps against Las Vegas if either Marks or Chubb are limited or out.

DECEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Should play after full practice Chubb (ribs) was a full practice participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Barring any setbacks coming out of Friday's practice, Chubb looks like he'll be ready to return from a one-game absence and approach this Sunday's game against the Raiders without an injury designation. Before injuring his ribs early in a Week 14 win over the Chiefs, Chubb had been playing second fiddle to Woody Marks in the backfield during the second half of the season, but Chubb could have a chance to take on greater volume in Week 16. Marks emerged from this past Sunday's win over the Cardinals with an ankle injury and has sat out both of the Texans' first two practices this week. As a result, Marks' availability for the matchup with Las Vegas would appear to be murky at the moment.

Limited in return to practice Chubb (ribs) was a limited participant Wednesday in his return to practice.

Impact Fellow Texans running back Woody Marks (ankle) was a non-participant after his early exit from Sunday's 40-20 win over Arizona. Chubb was inactive for the contest but now appears on track to return for Sunday's game against Las Vegas, with his role largely depending on Marks' health. Jawhar Jordan ran for 101 yards this past Sunday, doing most of his damage in the second half after Marks left early. Coach Demeco Ryans said afterward that Marks could've returned if the game had been closer.

Returns to practice Chubb (ribs) returned to practice Wednesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Chubb missed Sunday's 40-20 win over Arizona, during which Woody Marks tweaked his ankle injury and missed the second half. Coach Demeco Ryans said afterward that Marks could've returned if the score had been closer, but there's nonetheless some question about Houston's Week 16 backfield picture now that Chubb is back on the practice field while Marks is sitting out Wednesday. An upcoming matchup with the Raiders equates to increased fantasy appeal for whoever gets most of the carries, be it Marks, Chubb or Jahwar Jordan (16 touches for 118 yards last week).
