Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb is set to open his 21-day practice window on Wednesday, as he continues to recover from a severe knee injury sustained in Week 2 of the previous season. Head coach Kevin Stefanski has indicated that Chubb's return to practice is a positive sign, although he is still on the reserve/PUP list. The earliest Chubb could return to game action is tentatively set for Week 6, depending on his recovery progress.
- Chubb is expected to practice, which is a positive step in his recovery.
- He remains on the PUP list and will need to be cleared for practice to return.
- Jerome Ford will continue to lead the backfield until Chubb is fully cleared.
