• Browns' Pierre Strong: Back to third on depth chart

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Strong had two carries for eight yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Chargers. He also returned two kickoffs for 47 yards. Strong dropped a rung on the backfield depth chart with the return of Jerome Ford from a hamstring injury, working behind Nick Chubb and Ford and seeing his opportunities diminish. For Strong to have a significant backfield role, the Browns might have to decide to blow up the roster ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline and deal Chubb, who is operating on a one-year deal.

• Browns' Pierre Strong: No carries in win

  20D ago • By RotoWire

  Strong caught his lone target for three yards and returned three kickoffs for 59 yards in Sunday's 29-24 win over the Ravens in Week 8. Both Strong (14 snaps) and D'Onta Foreman (13) saw their workloads decrease relative to starter Nick Chubb, who played 12 more snaps and had five more carries in his second game back from a knee injury. This was the first time in six outings that Strong did not have a carry. Chubb's return clearly impacts Strong's rushing opportunities; however, he should remain a third-down option going forward, at least until Jerome Ford (hamstring) is able to suit up.

• Browns' Pierre Strong: In backfield mix Week 7

  29D ago • By RotoWire

  Strong is expected to be one of three running backs available for Sunday's game against the Bengals.. Cleveland ruled out Jerome Ford (hamstring), and head coach Kevin Stefanski told Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site that Nyheim Hines (knee) is "unlikely" to suit up. That leaves Strong, D'Onta Foreman and Nick Chubb (knee), who is expected to come off the PUP list and play. The lingering question is how many snaps/touches the Browns allot to Chubb in his first game since Week 2 of 2023. Depending on Chubb's workload, and the nature of game itself, Strong could build off last week's loss to the Eagles in which he was the backfield leader in scrimmage yards.

  Strong (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. The South Dakota State product upgraded to full practice Friday after logging limited sessions both Wednesday and Thursday, suggesting that he's moved past his hamstring issue. Expect Strong to serve as the Browns' No. 3 running back Week 6, playing behind both Jerome Ford and D'Onta Foreman.

• Browns' Pierre Strong: Limited in Wednesday's practice

  10/09/2024 • By RotoWire

  Strong (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Strong missed two games due to the hamstring injury prior to returning for the Week 5 loss to Washington. He received just one carry and one target in his return while also returning kickoffs on special teams. Jerome Ford is set to continue leading Cleveland backfield this Sunday against the Eagles, though if he's not slowed by the hamstring injury, Strong could be in position to serve as the No. 2 option. D'Onta Foreman has served as the primary complement to Ford this season but is nursing an ankle injury this week, while Nick Chubb (knee) has resumed practicing but is uncertain to be ready to make his 2024 debut Sunday.
