Nick Chubb’s Browns chapter ended after a series of major injuries, including the devastating knee injury he suffered in 2023 and a foot injury that finished his 2024 season early. By mid-2025, reports said Cleveland was moving on from him, and he was expected to continue his career with the Houston Texans instead.

What happened

  • In 2023, Chubb suffered a serious left knee injury that included torn ligaments and major damage, which kept him out for over a year.
  • He returned for part of the 2024 season, but he was not back to his old production level and later ended the year on injured reserve with a foot injury.
  • After that, the Browns were reported to be moving on, and Chubb was linked to Houston in 2025.

Current Browns context

The short version is: he is no longer viewed as a Browns player in the way he once was, because the team and Chubb both moved toward a fresh start after the injury setbacks. A later report in late 2025 also noted a new rib injury while he was with the Texans, showing that health has remained part of his story.
