Nick Chubb injury report: Texans receive HUGE news on RB's health for Week 15

"Texans RB Nick Chubb, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a rib injury, is not expected to play vs. the Cardinals, per source," Adam Schefter tweeted.

Chubb started his NFL career with the Cleveland Browns in 2018. He spent seven season with them and registered 6,843 yards and 51 TDs rushing, along with 1,042 yards with five TDs receiving.

He became a free agent after the 2024 season, after the end of his three year $36.6 million contract with the Browns. In June, the Texans signed to a one-year deal worth $2.5 million.

In 13 games, the four-time Pro Bowl running back has recorded 472 yards and three touchdowns rushing. The Texans are currently second in the AFC South with an 8-5 record and a five-game winning streak.

Who will the Texans play in Nick Chubb's place in Week 15?

With the expected absence of Nick Chubb, the Houston Texans will depend on rookie running back Woody Marks in the backfield.

Coach DeMeco Ryans and his team drafted Woody Marks with the 116th pick in 2025's NFL draft. As of now, he has played in all 13 fixtures with five starts while registering 554 yards and two touchdowns rushing. During last week's win against the Kansas City Chiefs, Mark had 68 rushing yards with no touchdowns.

The Texans also have the option to promote 2024 sixth-round pick Jawhar Johnson to the active roster. As per reporter Nick Schwager, this would be a great chance to give him an opportunity to prove his worth while letting Chubb make a complete recovery.
