With Joe Mixon missing time due to a foot injury which will be reevaluated closer to Week 1 it is looking like Nick Chubb and Woody Marks will be the beneficiaries for more workload. This sounds great on the surface, however it doesn’t sound like Nick Chubb is thriving.

This opportunity will show in veteran deference to Nick Chubb. Cole Thompson from the Texans Wire has seen Nick Chubb as an early loser in training camp due to the fact that Chubb isn’t displaying his quickness and burst at the 2nd and 3rd levels. Chubb has a history of being an elite decision maker. The problem is his body may not be able to keep up anymore. Look for the Texans to bring in outside talent. The Texans backfield is smart to avoid for now.
