The Houston Texans' run offense was squarely in the middle of the pack last season. This year? It seems the Texans are trying to get a little closer to the top. Houston is close to signing free agent running back Nick Chubb, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network and NFL.com.

As Fowler noted, the Browns added a pair of running backs in the draft in Ohio State's Quinshon Judkins and Tennessee's Dylan Sampson. With the addition of those two, Chubb's return to Cleveland would mean a crowded backfield.

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