Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty excited to play for Pete Carroll<\/p>\n

Ashton Jeanty is getting ready to start his NFL career with the Las Vegas Raiders. He hopes he can recreate the magic Pete Carroll had with Marshawn Lynch in Seattle.<\/p>\n

The Houston Texans<\/a> are expected to add another running back into their backfield mix in 2025.<\/p>\n

According to reports Sunday from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport<\/a>, former Cleveland Browns<\/a> running back Nick Chubb<\/a> is expected to sign with the Texans on Monday if his physical checks out when he visits the team.<\/p>\n

Houston will be just the second team Chubb will play for in his career. He spent each of his seven previous seasons with the Browns after the team selected him with the No. 35 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

Chubb will turn 30 in December and is coming off of two straight injury-shortened seasons.<\/p>\n

He suffered a torn MCL and damaged ACL in a Week 2 game that ended his season early in 2023 and kept him out of action until Week 7 last year. The Georgia product made it through eight games in his return as the Browns’ starting running back until he broke his foot in Week 15.<\/p>\n

In eight games during the 2024 season, Chubb compiled 332 yards on 102 rushes (3.3 yards per carry) and three rushing touchdowns. He also caught five passes for 31 yards and added a receiving touchdown as well.<\/p>\n

Chubb will potentially join a backfield that already features Joe Mixon<\/a>. Houston is coming off of a 10-7 season and will try to claim its third consecutive AFC South crown in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty excited to play for Pete Carroll Ashton Jeanty is getting ready to start…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":115635,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[115,1466,247,265,86,2429,85,54,7,221,253,246,88,6,1132,587,245,264,327,9,266,222,1461],"class_list":{"0":"post-115634","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-afc","9":"tag-afc-south","10":"tag-american","11":"tag-american-football","12":"tag-browns","13":"tag-chubb","14":"tag-cleveland","15":"tag-cleveland-browns","16":"tag-football","17":"tag-houston","18":"tag-houston-texans","19":"tag-neutral","20":"tag-news","21":"tag-nfl","22":"tag-nick","23":"tag-nick-chubb","24":"tag-overall","25":"tag-overall-neutral","26":"tag-south","27":"tag-sports","28":"tag-sports-news","29":"tag-texans","30":"tag-tx"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114652513815609183","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115634","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115634"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115634\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/115635"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
