Nick Chubb <\/a>might not be an All-Pro for the Houston Texans<\/a>, but he’s looking the part of a lead running back in practice.<\/p>\n

Chubb, who is expected to take over as the lead back while Pro Bowl runner Joe Mixon<\/a> misses a majority of training camp with a foot injury<\/a>, made several Texans<\/a> defenders miss him behind the line of scrimmage while he broke past the second level for what would have been a touchdown in a real game. With fans in attendance, No. 21 showed a bit more juice and gave fans something to talk about heading into the afternoon.<\/p>\n

Here’s a clip down below.<\/p>\n

Chubb, who spent seven seasons with the Cleveland Browns<\/a>, inked a one-year deal worth $2.5 million<\/a> in May, though it could be worth up to $5 million if he hits his bonuses. With Mixon’s injury, Chubb is going to have the first crack at working through the starting rotation over rookie Woody Marks and Dare Ogunbowale.<\/p>\n

A 2018 second-round pick out of Georgia, Chubb lived up to the billing with four Pro Bowl appearances and an All-Pro year in 2022. Part of Chubb’s tenure \u2014 and eventual downfall \u2014 in Cleveland was hindered by injuries. He suffered a suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 2 of the 2023 season against the\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers, forcing him to miss the first six games of 2024. Once he returned, Chubb averaged a career-low 3.3 yards per play over his final eight games.<\/p>\n

In Houston, Chubb hopes to recapture even half of his success prior to his injury while forming a duo with Mixon, who is expected to be back at some point early in the regular season. So far in camp, he’s impressed the right people.<\/p>\n

\u00a0“He’s a pro. Nick has been the same guy. I’ve always admired Nick from when he was back at Georgia, playing,” Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said. “I\u2019ve always admired him and it’s no different. I can see why the guy has been good in his career. It’s because he’s a hard worker. He doesn’t say much, but he shows you by his actions.”<\/p>\n
