Browns' Pierre Strong: Elevates to No. 2
Strong will serve as the backup running back Sunday against the Bengals.
With Nick Chubb (foot) on season-ending injured reserve, Jerome Ford becomes the lead runner, with Strong and D'Onta Foreman getting evaluation opportunities over the final three weeks, per Zac Jackson of The Athletic. Strong is under contract for next season while Foreman is not. When both Chubb and Ford were healthy over the last six games, Strong had just four carries for 13 yards and two catches (two targets) for nine yards.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Two touches in loss
Strong had two carries for five yards in Sunday's 35-14 loss to New Orleans in Week 11.
Strong was given garbage-time work, getting both touches on the team's final drive. He's had pockets of high usage this season, when filling in for the injured Nick Chubb or Jerome Ford, but both of them are back. Strong has just seven touches over the last three weeks.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Back to third on depth chart
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
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: Set for backup role Sunday
Strong is expected to serve as the top backup to starting running back Nick Chubb with Jerome Ford (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday's game against Baltimore.
Strong led Cleveland's backfield in snaps last week, topping out at 42 compared to Chubb's 30 and D'Onta Foreman's 11. That breakdown will likely change Sunday in Chubb's second game back from a knee injury. Strong could benefit as a receiver if the Browns attempt to take advantage of the Ravens' pass defense, which ranks 28th in passing yards allowed per game (250.6).

Browns' Pierre Strong: Four touches in loss
Strong had three rushes for six yards and caught one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to Cincinnati.
Sunday featured a reconfiguration of the backfield depth chart. The starter for the first six weeks, Jerome Ford (hamstring), was inactive, and Nick Chubb returned from a knee injury -- his first action since Week 2 of 2023. Chubb played into the third quarter, before leaving much of the second half to Strong and D'Onta Foreman (two touches). Strong's 42 snaps led the backfield, while Chubb had 30 and D'Onta Foreman's snap count landed at 11.

Browns' Pierre Strong: In backfield mix Week 7
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.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Leading rusher in loss
Strong carried the ball eight times for 43 yards and caught two of three targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles.
Jerome Ford (hamstring) left the game early, and Strong wound up leading the Browns in rushing yards on the afternoon while also falling just seven receiving yards shy of Amari Cooper for the team lead in that category as well. While it was Strong's best performance of the season, he may not get much of a chance to repeat it with Nick Chubb (knee) expected to return to action in Week 7 against the Bengals.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Ready to rock
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
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.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Light duty in return
Strong had one carry for two yards, failed to catch his lone target and returned five kickoffs for 124 yards in Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Commanders in Week 5.
Strong returned to action after missing two games due to a hamstring injury. His snap counts -- five on offense and eight on special teams -- were the lowest in the three games in which he's been active. With Nick Chubb (knee) and Nyheim Hines (knee) back practicing -- both were inactive Sunday -- Strong could see his opportunities on offense cut back in Week 6 against the Eagles.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Returning in Week 5
Strong (hamstring) is active Week 5 against the Commanders.
While Strong will return from a two-game absence, he'll still presumably be behind Jerome Ford and D'Onta Foreman on the running back depth chart. When he did suit up in Weeks 1 and 2, Strong saw more work on special teams than he did on offense, so the fantasy upside is limited.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Questionable for Week 5
Strong (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Strong will be looking to return after missing the Browns' previous two contests with a pulled hamstring. Even if active, Strong looks to be behind both Jerome Ford and D'Onta Foreman for playing time out of Cleveland's backfield. Strong has minimal fantasy value outside of the deepest of formats.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Limited participant Thursday
Strong (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice.
Strong was a limited participant for the second straight day as the Browns prepare for a Week 5 matchup on the road at Washington. Both Nick Chubb (knee) and Nyheim Hines (knee) were designated to return this week, but it's looking like neither will play Sunday. If Strong is ready to go, he could join D'Onta Foreman behind starter Jerome Ford in a backfield that's off to a slow start. Strong could also see opportunities as a returner.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Limited Wednesday
Strong (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Strong has missed the Browns' last two games due to a hamstring injury sustained during the team's Week 2 win over the Jaguars. The 25-year-old didn't practice at all last week, so Wednesday's limited session could mean he's trending in a positive direction ahead of the Browns' Week 5 matchup against the Commanders.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Out again for Week 4
Strong (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Strong will miss his second consecutive game after he was injured 10 snaps into Week 2. In his absence, Jerome Ford and D'Onta Foreman will continue to handle the bulk of the work out of Cleveland's backfield in what is a plus spot versus Las Vegas.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Logs another DNP
Strong (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Strong still hasn't stepped on the field since suffering the injury in Week 2. He'll likely need to return to practice Friday to have any chance of suiting up Sunday against the Raiders, but even then he may be leaning closer to doubtful for the matchup.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Still sidelined
Strong (hamstring) is not slated to practice Wednesday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Strong suffered the injury in Week 2 and has yet to play or practice with the team since. He'll likely need to get on the field Thursday in some form to have a chance to play Sunday against the Raiders. His current injury is compounded by Jerome Ford (knee) also missing practice Wednesday, leaving D'Onta Foreman and Gary Brightwell as the only healthy running backs currently on the Browns' roster.
