June 9 (UPI) -- The Houston Texans are expected to sign former Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb.
Sources told NFL Network, ESPN and The Athletic on Sunday night that Chubb will sign the one-year deal if he passes a physical on Monday in Houston.
Chubb, who joined the Browns as a second-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, amassed 6,843 rushing yards and 56 total touchdowns over the first seven years of his career. He appeared in just 10 games over the last two seasons, limited by knee and foot injuries.
The four-time Pro Bowl selection is expected to join a Texans backfield led by veteran running back Joe Mixon, who totaled 1,325 yards from scrimmage and 12 scores last season.
Dameon Pierce, Woody Marks, Dare Ogunbowale, J.J. Taylor and Jawhar Jordan are among the other running backs on the Texans' roster.
Texans players will report for mandatory minicamp on Tuesday and Wednesday in Houston.
