Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee) is currently working his way back from an injury that cost him most of last season. The team has already placed the star back on the physically unable to perform list, which means he'll miss the first four games of the season. The hope is that Chubb would return to the field shortly after that, but that might not be the case. Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com says the goal should be getting Chubb back by mid-season. It's worth noting that the organization did not say this, but Cabot believes it'll take Chubb longer than expected considering he tore both his ACL and MCL last season. The Browns do have Jerome Ford who proved himself to be a viable option without Chubb last season. That being said, the Browns might play it safe and ride with Chubb until he feels fully healthy to return. At the end of the day, Chubb is going to return when he's ready, so fantasy managers expecting him to suit up in Week 5 might be disappointed.

Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) may not return to a full workload until the final month of the season, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com.
Fantasy Spin: Chubb is already set to miss the start of the season as he recovers from a knee injury, and depending on how Cleveland's season is going, there may not be a reason to lean too heavily on Chubb at any point.
From TheHuddle
Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) is expected to remain on the Physically Unable to Perform list to start the season, which would make him ineligible for the first four games.
Fantasy Spin: No surprise here as Chubb was being drafted as a stash option. Jerome Ford's ADP of 111 is likely to increase with the news. He'll make a solid flex option early in the year and could have roster viability all season.
From TheHuddle
Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee) is expected to remain on the Physically Unable to Perform List to start the season. According to Adam Schefter, the Browns are not ready to activate the star back and that means he will miss at least the first four games of the regular season. This doesn't come as too big of a surprise since Chubb's major injury last season, but now it becomes a waiting game. With Chubb on the sidelines for at least four games, Jerome Ford will likely take on the bulk of the workload again while Pierre Strong Jr., D'Onta Foreman, and maybe even Nyheim Hines (knee) battle for reps behind him.

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee) reportedly still has a way to go in recovering from a devastating knee injury suffered in Week 2 of 2023. Chubb's injury was so catastrophic that he had to undergo two surgeries to repair the damage. While he has been spotted sprinting and doing light agility work at Brown's training camp, general manager Andrew Berry said Monday that Chubb has "a little way to go." Given his injury, this should come as no surprise. Chubb was placed on the active/PUP list to start training camp, and it appears he will remain there longer. In essentially one and a half games in 2023, Chubb had picked up right where he left off the prior season with 170 yards and 6.1 YPC. Hopefully, Chubb can get back to his old form. For now, his fantasy stock drops a little as there is a possibility he could miss some games to start the season.

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee) was seen running sprints on one of the team's practice fields after training camp concluded on Friday. Chubb went through a handful of sprints and finished by carrying a ball through cones in a standard agility drill. The 28-year-old had two surgeries last year after tearing the ACL, MCL and meniscus in his left knee last September. Unsurprisingly, he was put on the Physically Unable to Perform list to start training camp, and depending on his progress in camp, Chubb could start the regular season on the PUP list, meaning he'd miss at least the first four games. It's unclear if Chubb was going full speed on his sprints on Friday, but he wasn't wearing a brace or wrap on his surgically repaired knee. And it's much too early to tell if he'll have a shot at being on the active roster in Week 1, which makes Chubb a highly volatile risk/reward RB3/flex in fantasy as he comes off a devastating and gruesome injury.
From RotoBaller
Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) was seen running full-speed sprints and also conducted light agility work - such as cutting through cones - on Friday, July 26.
Fantasy Spin: A Week 1 return still seems unlikely, but the idea that Chubb could even be ready for the start of the season is amazing. With that said, Cleveland have no intention to rush Chubb, so expect an extended ramp-up period that could go until November. Fantasy managers should not count on much from the 28-year-old early in the season, but it seems more than possible now that Chubb could end up being a potential steal for anyone able to land him in the double-digit rounds.
From TheHuddle
The Athletic's Zac Jackson writes that the Cleveland Browns have options with their roster management and don't need to rush running back Nick Chubb (knee) back for the start of the 2024 season. But if Chubb returns to practice at any point during training camp, he'll be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list and would have to be on the 53-man active roster to start the regular season. Chubb has been a superstar for the Browns who has consistently produced -- his career average of 5.3 yards per carry ranks seventh-best by any player since 1946 -- but he's recovering from a torn ACL, MCL and meniscus in his left knee, the same one in which he previously tore his ACL in college. The fact that the 28-year-old doesn't have a timetable and remains a candidate to open the year on the PUP list (and miss at least the first four games), makes him a risky RB3/flex in fantasy in 2024.

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee) was officially placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Wednesday. Nothing has changed in terms of Chubb's timetable for a return from last year's Week 2 dislocated knee and torn MCL, as there remains no word regarding the likelihood of his Week 1 availability for this season. The 28-year-old Pro Bowl running back is being drafted 134th overall on average in fantasy drafts this summer, per RotoBaller, with the idea that he may not be ready for the outset of the campaign. Entering his age-29 year and coming off his second major knee surgery, Chubb is one of 2024's top wild cards with a wide range of potential outcomes as an RB3/4 gamble. At the moment, Jerome Ford looks like a decent value pick in the later rounds as the likely lead back for the Browns for any games Chubb may be inactive for.
From RotoBaller
Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee), OT Jack Conklin (knee), OT Jedrick Wills Jr. (knee), DT Dalvin Tomlinson (knee) and S D'Anthony Bell (shin) were placed on the active/physically unable to perform list on Wednesday, July 24. In addition, CB Greg Newsome (hamstring) and RB Nyheim Hines (knee) was placed on the active/non-football injury list.
From TheHuddle
Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) is expected to be placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list when training camp begins.
From TheHuddle
Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee) is expected to be placed on the active/PUP list to begin training camp. It's worth noting that Browns' general manager Andrew Berry said Chubb is progressing well from his torn ACL. The Browns are able to activate Chubb at any point, but it sounds like there is still more work to be done. At the moment, it is uncertain if Chubb will be available by Week 1. If he misses time, Jerome Ford is likely to become the workhorse back in Cleveland. Fantasy managers should have Ford on their radar with Chubb still rehabbing his knee.
From RotoBaller
An Instagram post on Monday morning showed Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee) doing two squat reps with what appears to be a total of 12 45-pound plates on a Tsunami Max bar. It's especially impressive, considering Chubb suffered a season-ending knee injury in the Week 2 game against the Steelers on Sept. 18 of last year that required two surgeries -- one to fix damage to his MCL, the medial capsule and meniscus, and the second to fix his ACL. The four-time pro Bowler suffered a similar injury, except for the torn ACL, in the same knee at Georgia in 205. Chubb isn't putting a timetable on his return but also didn't dismiss the possibility of being ready for Week 1 against Dallas this fall. He started running in April but didn't do any on-field work during OTAs or minicamp. The 28-year-old is likely to be eased in this year, which makes him more of a risky RB3 in fantasy than a surefire RB1.

Dynasty | Browns running back Nick Chubb was selected as the second best running back by NFL executives in a recent ESPN poll. Dynasty Analysis: Chubb was ranked as the second best running back in the NFL behind only Christian McCaffrey. He has a lot to prove this season as he attempts to return from a gruesome knee injury but time will tell if he can regain his form and justify this lofty ranking. From a dynasty value perspective, few players have the upside of Chubb and with a ranking of RB37, he seems like a worthy high-risk proposition for contending teams at the moment.
Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) has recovered from his knee surgery faster than trainer Brad Lester has ever seen before. 'I even had to ask him, 'Which knee was it again?'' Lester said. 'He said 'the left one.' I said, 'That's good that I can't even tell.' He's way ahead of schedule in my opinion. I will honestly say I have never seen anyone recover as fast as he has so far. After certain movements, I was kind of like, 'How do you feel?' And he'd say 'I was fine.' I was like, 'Man, this is pretty impressive.' To be seven months out and he didn't have any pains in the workout.'
Fantasy Spin: That's about all you could hope to hear after his catastrophic knee injury last year that tore his ACL, MCL and medial capsule. They may still slow-play him back as they have depth with Jerome Ford and D'Onta Foreman. The latter two will be matchup plays or flex options while Chubb is out. But Chubb could be a mid-to-low RB2.
From TheHuddle
Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) does not have a timeline for his return from a torn anterior cruciate ligament, he said on Wednesday, June 5.
Fantasy Spin: If Chubb isn't ready for the start of the season, Jerome Ford and D'Onta Foreman figure to split carries, but Ford, who was a standout last season, will be the passing-down back, giving him some flex appeal. Foreman would be a touchdown-dependent, low-end flex option some weeks.
From TheHuddle
Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry said that running back Nick Chubb (knee) is "progressing nicely" in his recovery from the gruesome knee injury that he suffered in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2023. However, Berry also said Chubb "still has a long way to go" in his rehab. Chubb resumed running on land a few weeks ago, but it remains to be seen if he'll be ready for the start of training camp this summer. The Browns didn't take a RB in this year's draft but added D'Onta Foreman and pass-catching back Nyheim Hines in free agency. Cleveland also has Jerome Ford as an option to help ease Chubb back into the fold if he's still not 100 percent early on in 2024. Before his injury, Chubb as a no-doubt RB1, but that will be in question this fall as he comes off his season-ending injury.
From RotoBaller
Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) is feeling 'pretty good' and 'progressing nicely' as he continues to rehab the knee injury he suffered in Week 2 of the 2023 season, according to general manager Andrew Berry during his appearance on 92.3 The Fan on Thursday, May 2.
Fantasy Spin: Chubb "still has a long way to go," according to Berry, and it is the answer is most would expect from a general manager at this point of the offseason. Fantasy managers will likely have to wait at least a month or two more before getting a decent timeline for his return to action, but the smart approach is to assume he will not be ready for training camp and could miss at least the first month of the season. Cleveland prepared well for that scenario by adding D'Onta Foreman and Nyheim Hines - each of whom figures to back up (or complement) Jerome Ford.
From TheHuddle
Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) started running on land last week and is 'progressing appropriately' as he continues his rehab from the torn medial collateral ligament and anterior cruciate ligament he suffered early last season.
Fantasy Spin: Chubb's ability to work his way back from a gruesome knee injury in college and make himself into a very good NFL running back was nothing short of incredible. However, as a running back who will turn 29 years old right after Christmas this season, the odds may be stacked too high against him to return to his previous RB1 heights now. While the team has offered no timeline yet, fantasy managers should not expect Chubb to begin the season on time. Expect Jerome Ford to be the lead back and D'Onta Foreman to fill the Kareem Hunt role until Chubb is ready.
From TheHuddle
Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry said that running back Nick Chubb (knee) has started running on land within the last week and is progressing appropriately after he suffered a gruesome season-ending knee injury in Week 2 of last year. The next few weeks and months will be big for Chubb's return in 2024. The 28-year-old is entering the third and final season of his current deal in Cleveland, but there remains no timetable for his return after such a significant injury in 2023. Chubb had multiple surgeries last fall to fix ACL, MCL and meniscus injuries to his left knee. We don't know right now if Chubb will be ready for Week 1, but the best guess is that if he is, he'll be eased back in alongside D'Onta Foreman, Nyheim Hines and Jerome Ford.
