Joe Mixon’s role as the Texans' featured RB is in question with Nick Chubb in the fold. Even in his diminished state, Chubb is an upgrade to Mixon's understudies from last seaso

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.

The Browns might be starting over at running back after selecting Quinshon Judkins in the second round of last month's draft. They also added Tennessee star Dylan Sampson as a backup to compete for first-team reps, thus making Chubb the No. 3 option.
