Browns RB Nick Chubb broke his left foot in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, HC Kevin Stefanski said afterward. That will end Chubb's 2024 season after just eight games, although it shouldn't threaten his readiness for the start of the 2025 campaign. Of course, it's just another lower-body injury for a guy who's suffered a pair of devastating knee injuries. Chubb turns 29 later this month. His absence leaves Jerome Ford as Cleveland's likely lead back the rest of the way. He averaged 9.6 carries and 4.6 targets across five healthy games without Chubb at the beginning of this season.
Both Browns RBs Jerome Ford and Nick Chubb had nine touches in the loss to the Chiefs. Ford scored the only TD for Cleveland breaking a 62-yard run in the third quarter. He ended with 104 total yards to Chubb’s 41. Chubb left the game with a broken foot, so Ford will become the new lead back.
Browns RB Nick Chubb suffered a foot injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs and will not return. That leaves the backfield to Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong. D'Onta Foreman is a healthy scratch. We'll update Chubb's status when we know more.
Browns RB Nick Chubb averaged 4.4 yards per carry in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. That marked his second-best average through seven apperances this season. But he also garnered just 11 carries vs. Jerome Ford's 10 for the game. Chubb also trailed Ford in pass routes and total snaps once again.
Browns RB Nick Chubb carried 20 times for 59 yards and two TDs in Thursday night's win over the Steelers. He caught his only target for one yard. Chubb got Cleveland on the board with a two-yard score in the second quarter. Then he punched in another two-yard TD with under a minute to go to give the Browns a 24-19 lead. In between, Chubb struggled to get much going. His longest run of the night went for just seven yards.
The forecast for tonight's Steelers-Browns game calls for temperatures just above freezing, 85% chance of precipitation, and winds of 15-20 mph with gusts of 25-30 mph. That's ugly. Expect an even run-heavier game plan from the Steelers than usual and for the Browns to run more than they typically do. And don't expect many points. This game has 36.5-point over/under. We'd avoid both QBs and kickers in the game and downgrade the WRs. See where all the Steelers and Browns sit in the updated Week 12 Rankings.
Browns RB Nick Chubb managed just 11 carries for 50 yards in Sunday's lopsided loss to the Saints. Chubb got the ball four times on Cleveland's first possession alone but hit halftime with only 6 rushes for 19 yards.
Browns RB Jerome Ford (hamstring) is not listed on the final injury report and will play vs. the Chargers on Sunday. Cleveland will have Ford and RB Nick Chubb available for the first time this season. Ford figures to lead this backfield in passing-down snaps going forward. We’ll see how much rushing work he takes from Chubb.
Browns RB Jerome Ford (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. He seemingly has a shot to play vs the Chargers this weekend. Ford wouldn't be a recommended Week 9 fantasy starter but could steal work from RB Nick Chubb, particularly in the passing game.
Browns RB Jerome Ford (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Ravens. That’ll again leave the backfield to RBs Nick Chubb, D’Onta Foreman, and Pierre Strong. Chubb played 35% of the snaps and handled 11 of 16 RB carries last week. His role could grow this weekend, but the matchup is brutal against a Baltimore run defense ranked fourth in DVOA.
Browns RB Jerome Ford (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. He's not looking like a good bet to make it back for this weekend's game vs. the Ravens. That'd again leave the backfield to Nick Chubb, D'Onta Foreman, and Pierre Strong. Chubb played just 35% of the offensive snaps in his 2024 debut last week but led the Browns with 11 carries.
Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) is officially active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. It’ll be his first live action since his September 2023 multi-ligament knee injury. NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported this morning that Chubb is expected to get a “decent workload” – but that exactly how many carries he gets won’t be determined until the team sees how he’s feeling during the game. We’d try not to use Chubb in Week 7 fantasy lineups.
Browns RB Nick Chubb is expected to get a "decent workload" in his return today vs. the Bengals, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. The Browns have reportedly been impressed by Chubb's play since he got back on the field, but Garafolo notes that Chubb has only been taking contact for three weeks. "His workload is gonna be determined by how the game goes, how he looks," Garafolo adds. It sounds like the Browns don't even know how much work Chubb will be ready to handle in his first game in well over a year. That obviously makes him a risky fantasy bet, but managers in a bind can consider a flier on Chubb in today's plus matchup.
Browns RB Jerome Ford (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals. RB Nick Chubb (knee) is listed as questionable but is expected to play, HC Kevin Stefanski said on Friday. It’ll be Chubb’s first game since his September 2023 multi-ligament knee injury. We’ll look for reports on Cleveland’s plans for Chubb in this one, but we’d be surprised if he got anything close to a full workload. See where Chubb lands in the Week 7 RB Rankings.
Browns RB Nick Chubb's Week 7 workload is a "work in progress," HC Kevin Stefanki said Thursday. "We want to make sure that he's available for the long term," Stefanski added. It's a very reasonable take as Chubb returns from last year's multi-ligament knee injury. We'd be surprised if he handled anything close to a normal Chubb workload vs. the Bengals on Sunday. Chubb should not be in Week 7 fantasy lineups if you can help it.
Browns HC Kevin Stefanski on Monday called RB Jerome Ford "week-to-week" with his hamstring injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. That likely means we should expect Ford to miss at least the Week 7 game against the Bengals. Cleveland reportedly expects to get Nick Chubb back for that one. Ford's absence would figure to leave Pierre Strong as the primary complement to Chubb in that scenario. We'll keep watching for updates on the Cleveland backfield throughout the week.
Browns RB Jerome Ford suffered a hamstring injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Eagles and is questionable to return. His absence leaves D'Onta Foreman and Pierre Strong in the backfield. RB Nick Chubb is expected to make his 2024 debut next week.
