Browns' Nick Chubb: To hit open market
Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry said Tuesday that he expects Nick Chubb (foot) to test free agency this offseason, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.Chubb is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year March 12, and it sounds as though Cleveland won't expend significant effort to re-sign the veteran running back. A four-time Pro Bowler, Chubb missed the first six games of the 2024 campaign while recovering from a serious knee injury, then managed only eight appearances before suffering a season-ending foot issue. In that span, he rushed 102 times for 332 yards and three scores, with a career-low 3.3 YPC. Chubb's foot injury won't require surgery to heal, but it's unclear whether the 29-year-old veteran will draw significant interest after playing just 10 combined games over the past two seasons. He may need to settle for a one-year prove-it deal to demonstrate he can still rediscover his old form.

Browns' Nick Chubb: Moves to IR, out for season
The Cleveland Browns placed Nick Chubb (foot) on injured reserve Wednesday.While Chubb isn't expected to require surgery to repair the left foot he fractured in this past Sunday's 21-7 loss to the Chiefs, the injury will keep him sidelined for the final three games of the season. Jerome Ford is expected to step in as the Browns' lead back in place of Chubb, whose future in Cleveland is uncertain. The four-time Pro Bowler is set to become an unrestricted free agent this spring, and while Chubb has said that he would like to finish his career in Cleveland, it's unclear if the organization feels the same. After sustaining a significant left knee injury in Week 2 of the 2023 season, Chubb didn't make his 2024 debut until Week 7 and lacked his usual explosiveness as a runner. He averaged 3.3 yards per carry -- by far a career-low mark -- and scored four touchdowns over his eight appearances before going down with the fractured foot.

Browns' Nick Chubb: Not expected to need surgery
Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday he doesn't expect Nick Chubb to require surgery to address the broken left foot he suffered during Sunday's 21-7 loss to the Chiefs, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.Stefanski indicated that Chubb is done for the year but that he's facing a "shorter-term recovery time" than he did last offseason, while rehabbing from a severe knee injury, Camryn Justice of News 5 Cleveland reports. Nonetheless, this marks the second year in a row in which Chubb has had his season end early due to injury, and he'll begin his offseason focused on rehabbing. The soon-to-be 29-year-old is slated to become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year in March, making his future with Cleveland uncertain. For the remainder of the 2024 campaign, beginning Sunday at Cincinnati, Jerome Ford looks positioned to operate as the No. 1 running back for the Browns, with D'Onta Foreman and Pierre Strong also available as depth options.

Browns' Nick Chubb: Posts 48 yards in loss
Nick Chubb rushed the ball 11 times for 48 yards in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Steelers. He did not record a reception on one target.Chubb was in an even split in the backfield with Jerome Ford for the entire day. While that limited his volume, Chubb did manage a 19-yard run -- his longest of the season. He's now gained between 48 and 59 yards on the ground in four of his seven games this season, though the ongoing split in the backfield will continue to limit his fantasy appeal.

Browns' Nick Chubb: Records receiving TD in loss
Nick Chubb rushed nine times for 21 yards and secured both targets for 24 yards and a touchdown in the Cleveland Browns' 41-32 loss to the Broncos on Monday night.Chubb and Jerome Ford both logged the same number of carries, but the latter recorded 20 more rushing yards. However, Chubb was the only one of the two that got into the end zone, as he recorded a five-yard scoring grab with just under nine minutes remaining to erase a 31-25 deficit. The touchdown was Chubb's first through the air since Week 18 of the 2022 season and fourth overall since making his Week 7 season debut. Chubb will look to hit paydirt again Week 14 versus a Steelers squad that he tallied a pair of rush TDs against Week 12.

Browns' Nick Chubb: Two TDs in busy game
Nick Chubb rushed 20 times for 59 yards and two touchdowns and secured his only target for one yard in the Cleveland Browns' 24-19 win over the Steelers on Thursday night.After a Week 11 outing against the Saints where his workload was intentionally kept light, Chubb handled his largest carry total yet in his five-game season and made good use of the opportunity. The talented veteran back found the end zone from two yards out in both the second and fourth quarters, his first scores since his Week 7 debut. Chubb's second touchdown also provided the game-winning points for Cleveland, and his yardage was a new season high. Chubb will now have extra down time before a Week 13 Monday night matchup on the road against a tough Broncos defense on Dec. 2.

Browns' Nick Chubb: Low usage was planned for Week 11
Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said Tuesday that having Nick Chubb play 22 snaps in this past Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints was planned with the Cleveland Browns facing a quick turnaround for Week 12 with a Thursday night matchup with the Steelers, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.The snap count against the Saints was the lowest since Chubb made his season debut Week 7, and his 11 carries matched a season-low total. The running back had his best showing from an efficiency standpoint this past week, averaging 4.5 yards per carry after posting a 2.7 YPC mark in his first three games back from injury. With a high chance of either rain or snow for Thursday's game, the Browns could rely more heavily on Chubb coming off his light workload in Week 11.

Browns' Nick Chubb: Modest numbers again in Week 11
Nick Chubb carried the ball 11 times for 50 yards in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints.The game didn't get away from the Cleveland Browns until the fourth quarter, but Chubb still failed to get a big workload, even coming off a bye and facing what has been a vulnerable New Orleans run defense this season. Cleveland may simply no longer view Chubb as a viable bell cow after last year's serious knee injury, so while he should remain at the top of the depth chart ahead of the likes of Jerome Ford, his days of seeing 20-plus touches on a consistent basis may be over. Chubb isn't likely to break out in Week 12 against the Steelers, a team he's only scored two rushing touchdowns against in 10 career meetings.
