Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb is not expected to require surgery for his broken left foot, which he sustained during a loss to the Chiefs. While he is done for the season, his recovery time is anticipated to be shorter than last year's knee injury. Chubb's future with the Browns is uncertain as he is set to become an unrestricted free agent in March. In his absence, Jerome Ford is positioned to take over as the primary running back.
- Chubb's injury marks the second consecutive season ending early due to injury.
- Jerome Ford is expected to step up as the starting running back for the remainder of the season.
