The New Orleans Saints have shown interest in free agent RB Nick Chubb ahead of his visit with the Texans. They need a No. 2 behind Alvin Kamara.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the veteran Cleveland Bronwos running back is expected to sign with the Houston Texans on Monday if he passes a team physical. A bruiser back known for his physical play style, Chubb, is on the verge of finding a new home in the AFC following a promising career in the AFC North.

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.
