WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. -- With Joe Mixon nursing an ankle injury, Nick Chubb has stepped in for the Houston Texans at running back as he enters the next chapter of his career.
Mixon was placed on the non-football injury list and hasn't practiced throughout training camp, which has given Chubb every opportunity to assert himself into the Texans' run game as he tries to return to the form he had with the Cleveland Browns before injuries derailed his career -- with the final blow coming last season in Week 15 when he broke his foot.
