Nick Chubb played seven seasons with the Cleveland Browns from 2018 to 2024, earning four Pro Bowl selections before injuries limited his availability. He played one season with the Houston Texans in 2025 before announcing his retirement.
Veteran running back Nick Chubb will return to the Cleveland Browns, but not as another option in the backfield for the 2026 season. Chubb intends to sign a one-day contract and retire as a Brown, according to ESPN. He announced his retirement in August, concluding an eight-year career.
His brief stint in Cleveland will bring Chubb back to the city where he spent most of his NFL career. The first seven of Chubb's eight years as a pro came with the Browns, as did all four of his Pro Bowl selections. The franchise selected him out of Georgia as the No. 35 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, and he delivered on expectations with a prolific run as its top running back.
While injuries in 2023 and 2024 upended his career, Chubb was nothing short of productive over his first five seasons. He finished four rushing yards shy of the 1,000-yard mark as a rookie, and he comfortably eclipsed that threshold in every campaign from 2019-22. He also tallied at least eight touchdowns in each of his first five years with the Browns.

Just two games into the 2023 season, Chubb tore his MCL and sustained damage to his ACL, which cost him the rest of the year and forced him to sit nearly the entire first half of the 2024 campaign. He played eight games upon his return before missing the rest of the season with a broken foot.
The Browns did not re-sign Chubb after the 2024 season, and he inked a one-year deal with the Houston Texans for 2025. There, he started nine of the 15 games he played and totaled 122 carries for 506 yards and three touchdowns, alongside Woody Marks. He was a key member of a Texans team that advanced to the AFC divisional round.
Chubb became a free agent again at the end of his lone year in Houston and called it a career this summer.
