Efficient in limited action
Chubb rushed nine times for 58 yards and brought in his only target for two yards in the Browns' 21-16 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
Analysis: Chubb predictably saw relatively limited action, and a bulk of his production against what was a much improved Bengals run defense this season came on a 35-yard scamper. The fourth-year pro finished with an impressive 1,259 rushing yards in 14 games, the second-highest tally of his career. With backfield mate Kareem Hunt (ankle) under contract through next season as well, Chubb figures to still operate as the primary early-down option for the run-heavy Cleveland attack in 2022.

No Week 18 injury designation
Chubb (ribs/chest) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Chubb was limited at practice this week, but he'll be available for the Browns' season finale. Meanwhile, Kareem Hunt (ankle) is listed as questionable for the contest and D'Ernest Johnson is currently on the reserve/COVID-19 list. While Chubb is slated to be out there this weekend, it remains to be seen if he'll log his customary workload with Cleveland out of the playoff picture. In that context, the team could give Demetric Felton added backfield touches in Week 18.

Limited in second straight practice
Chubb (ribs/chest) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Chubb's limited listing marks no change from Wednesday, though Cleveland held a more traditional practice Thursday as opposed to a walk-through session two days earlier. Though Cleveland is eliminated from playoff contention and thus doesn't have much at stake Week 18, Chubb still should get the green light to play so long as he isn't well below 100 percent. That being said, the Browns could look to be conservative with his workload, especially if Kareem Hunt (ankle) is available to return from…read more

Listed as limited to start week
Chubb (ribs/chest) is listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Chubb was noticeably absent for stretches of Monday's 26-14 loss to Pittsburgh, with head coach Kevin Stefanski noting afterward that the running back got banged up early in the game. The 26-year-old still managed 12 carries for 58 yards and took snaps into the fourth quarter, so he'll likely aim to give it a go this Sunday against the Bengals. Case Keenum will replace Baker Mayfield (shoulder) under center for the season finale.

Plays through rib issue
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski acknowledged after Monday's 26-14 loss to the Steelers that Chubb played through a rib injury during the contest, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. "He got a little banged up with a rib injury," Stefanski said of the running back. "He was able to play through it, but he needed some rest."
Analysis: Chubb suffered the injury early on in the contest, which may explain why he earned just 12 touches, his second-lowest total of the season. Though Stefanski downplayed the health concern after the game, Chubb's status will bear monitoring as the Browns head into their season finale this Sunday against the Bengals. Since Cleveland has already been eliminated from playoff contention, the team could take a cautious approach with the star back and limit his workload or withhold him entirely from a…read more

Just 12 touches in loss
Chubb rushed 12 times for 58 yards and didn't catch his only target in Monday night's 26-14 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Chubb ripped off a 32-yard run to begin Cleveland's second series, but he didn't get much going otherwise. Of course, he also wasn't handed his usual workload either, with Monday marking his third-fewest carries in a game this season. That low involvement came despite Kareem Hunt (ankle) remaining sidelined and Baker Mayfield being sacked nine times amid another inefficient passing performance. On the bright side, Chubb will now finish the season with a matchup against a Bengals team that's…read more

Big game at Lambeau
Chubb ran for 126 yards and one touchdown on 17 carries and caught three passes for 58 yards on four targets against Green Bay on Saturday.
Analysis: Chubb managed to stay involved despite the Browns trailing the vast majority of the game, providing consistently explosive production both as a runner and receiver. While Kareem Hunt tends to handle Cleveland's passing down work when healthy, this showing from Chubb is a reminder that he poses a formidable pass-catching threat in his own right when the opportunity is there. The Browns face the Steelers next, and their run defense has generally struggled in 2021.

Scores TD in Monday's loss
Chubb rushed 23 times for 91 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for two yards in Monday's 16-14 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Chubb was bottled up early on but got going in the third quarter after a fumble recovery by the defense set the Browns up in Raiders territory. The running back then ripped off a 24-yard run -- his longest of the game -- and followed it up with a four-yard touchdown run three plays later. Chubb also had a would-be 11-yard touchdown run called back on a penalty in the fourth quarter. The Browns took a 14-13 lead by scoring on that drive anyway, but Chubb failed to pick up a first down on the…read more

Browns-Raiders moved to Monday
Chubb and the Browns will no longer play the Raiders on Saturday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Monday at 5 p.m. ET.
Analysis: Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Cleveland organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, the Browns will restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. With Kareem Hunt having landed on the list and also dealing with an ankle injury, Chubb could take on more passing-down work in addition to his normal duties as Cleveland's lead option on the ground.

Could get more work sans Hunt
Chubb could have a clearer path to more passing-down and goal-line work Saturday against the Raiders with top backup Kareem Hunt (ankle) ruled out for the contest, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: After a five-game absence from Weeks 7 through 11 due to a calf strain, Hunt had appeared in both of the Browns' last two games. Though Hunt saw lighter snap counts in both contests than he had earlier in the season, his absence for Week 15 at least removes one possible obstacle in Chubb's way for more high-value work. D'Ernest Johnson has proven to be a capable change-of-pace option in the opportunities he's received this season and should have a role in the game plan, so Chubb could still…read more

Held in check
Chubb rushed 17 times for 59 yards and caught three of four targets for six yards in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: Chubb was held in check despite teammate Kareem Hunt being forced to exit with an ankle injury early on. While Chubb managed more than his mere 39 scrimmage yards versus the Ravens in Week 12, Baltimore once again succeeded in stifling the Browns' star tailback. Following consecutive down performances by Chubb's standards, he'll strive to get back on track in Week 15 versus the Raiders, when Hunt's status could potentially impact his workload ahead of D'Ernest Johnson.

Ground game stuffed Sunday
Chubb gained 16 yards on eight carries and caught two passes (four targets) for 23 more yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Chubb has been one of the NFL's top pure rushers this year, but his run of consistency came to a screeching halt Sunday. The Ravens were keen on bringing extra pressure and plugging potential rush lanes for the entire Cleveland rushing attack, as neither of the Browns' top two rushers were able to eclipse 20 yards for the first time this season. Kareem Hunt (leg) was held out at the end of this contest, so Chubb could be in store for heavy usage if his teammate is unable to return healthy from…read more

Splitting with Hunt again
Kareem Hunt (calf) was removed from injured reserve and is set to rejoin Chubb in the Cleveland backfield Sunday night at Baltimore, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Hunt's presence, or lack thereof, hasn't had much impact on Chubb's playing time or carry/touch totals this season, with the 227-pounder logging 47-to-57 percent snap share and 11-to-22 carries in each of his eight games. The Browns used D'Ernest Johnson (and sprinkles of Demetric Felton) to replace Hunt in Weeks 8, 9 and 11, while the largest workloads went to Johnson in the two games both Chubb and Hunt missed (Weeks 7 and 10). Hunt does pose slightly more of a threat to Chubb's touch count…read more

Tops 140 total yards in return
Chubb carried the ball 22 times for 130 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Lions. He added two receptions for 14 yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: Chubb returned from a one-game absence and matched his highest carry total of the season. He had six double-digit gains and progressively picked up more chunk yardage as the game moved along. Chubb also made his mark in the receiving game, posting his third multi-catch effort of the campaign as well as his first receiving touchdown since the 2018 season. He's now topped 100 rushing yards in four of his last five games, two of which came while he was sharing the backfield with Kareem Hunt (calf).

Ready for Week 11 return
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Chubb (illness) looked good in his return to practice Friday and is good to go for Sunday's game against the Lions, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After testing positive for the coronavirus Nov. 9, Chubb was sidelined for the Browns' Week 10 loss to the Patriots, but he cleared all protocols and was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday. With Stefanski confirming that Chubb checked out fine from a conditioning standpoint during Friday's practice, the 25-year-old looks like he'll be ready to lead the Cleveland ground game Week 11. Because of Chubb's lack of recent practice reps along with the fact that the Browns will be heavily…read more

Officially activated Friday
The Browns activated Chubb (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.
Analysis: Chubb missed one game after testing positive for COVID-19, but he's been reinstated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Lions. The Browns will presumably evaluate the 25-year-old in practice Friday to ensure he's good to go from a conditioning standpoint before deciding whether or not to give him a designation this weekend.

Returning from COVID list
Chubb (illness) is set to be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Chubb and Demetric Felton (illness) will be reinstated to the active roster Friday after missing one game due to positive tests for COVID-19. Assuming his bout with the virus didn't hinder him too much from a conditioning standpoint, Chubb should lead Cleveland's backfield Sunday against the Lions, while Felton could help out in the aerial attack with wideouts Jarvis Landry (knee), Donovan Peoples-Jones (groin) and Anthony Schwartz (concussion) banged up.

Progressing, could play Week 11
Browns offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt said Thursday that Chubb (illness) is "trending in the right direction" toward being available to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Among the three Browns running backs that landed on the list last week, only John Kelly was reinstated Wednesday, but Chubb and Demetric Felton don't seem to be far behind. Because he's vaccinated, Chubb will be eligible to rejoin the Browns as soon as he's exhibiting diminished symptoms of the virus and tests negative on two occasions at least 24 hours apart, and Van Pelt's comments suggest the team's top back could be cleared as soon as Friday. Chubb's status for Sunday's game against the…read more

Not a lock for Week 11
Chubb (illness) remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list as of Wednesday, making him uncertain to play in Sunday's game against Detroit, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Chubb still has time to return a pair of negative tests on consecutive days to gain clearance from the list before Sunday, but there's at least some chance of D'Ernest Johnson taking on a huge role again Week 11. In addition to the uncertainty of Chubb's status, Kareem Hunt (calf) has already been ruled out from making a return from injured reserve this weekend. Wednesday marks eight days since Chubb initially was placed on the list following a positive test for the virus.

Not playing Sunday
Chubb (illness) won't play in Sunday's contest at New England, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Per coach Kevin Stefanski, the Browns backfield will be without Chubb, Demetric Felton (illness) and John Kelly (illness) this weekend, as the trio is on the reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive for the virus Tuesday. With Kareem Hunt (calf) not ready to return from injured reserve, D'Ernest Johnson will be the team's primary running back Sunday, which previously equated to 24 touches for 168 yards from scrimmage and one TD back in Week 7.

Still sidelined Friday
Chubb, who remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list, wasn't present for Friday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: The same applies to Demetric Felton, with Cabot noting that the deadline for the Browns to activate either back is Saturday afternoon. If Chubb isn't cleared in advance of Sunday's game against the Patriots, D'Ernest Johnson would be in line to start at running back for the team in Week 10.

Sunday status TBD
Offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt notes that there's still a chance Chubb could come off the reserve/COVID-19 list in time for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: With that in mind, Van Pelt adds that the Browns will keep the process going as long as they can, but at this stage the Week 10 status of both Chubb and Demetric Felton, who is also on the reserve/COVID-19 list, remains cloudy. Given that Kareem Hunt (calf) is not ready to return from injured reserve, D'Ernest Johnson would be in line to start at running back for the Browns on Sunday if Chubb isn't activated by the team.

Lands on COVID-19 list

Analysis: The transaction was fully expected after Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Chubb tested positive for the virus earlier Tuesday. Because he's vaccinated, Chubb is eligible to rejoin the Browns as soon as he turns in two straight negative COVID-19 tests at least 24 hours apart, so he'll still have a chance to be available for the team's Week 10 game in New England on Sunday.

Scores twice in blowout win
Chubb rushed 14 times for 137 yards and two touchdowns while catching both of his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 41-16 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Chubb gave the Browns a 14-7 second-quarter lead with a one-yard rushing touchdown, then burst past everybody for a 70-yard touchdown run in the third quarter to put Cleveland up 31-10. While Chubb dominated, D'Ernest Johnson produced just 16 yards on eight rushing attempts. With Kareem Hunt (calf) expected to remain sidelined in Week 10 against the Patriots, Chubb should continue to see the majority of playing time in Cleveland's backfield, especially by the goal line.

Tough sledding in return
Chubb carried the ball 16 times for 61 yards and caught his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Returning to action after a two-game absence, Chubb saw most of the touches out of the Cleveland backfield but couldn't find much running room, and he saw D'Ernest Johnson vulture a touchdown in the third quarter. The 61 rushing yards were a season low for Chubb, who will look to rebound in Week 9 against the Bengals.

Clear to play Sunday
Chubb (calf) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game versus the Steelers, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Chubb was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday after sitting out the past two games with the calf injury, but he practiced with no limitations Friday and avoided the questionable tag. The 25-year-old should operate in a workhorse role with Kareem Hunt (calf) still on injured reserve, though D'Ernest Johnson, who had 168 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown Week 7, still should be involved as a secondary option in the backfield.

Analysis: Chubb previously noted that he hopes to play this weekend against the Steelers, but his Week 8 availability hinges on how his calf responds to the work he's been getting at practice this week. It seems safe to assume he'll head into the weekend with an injury designation, but once Friday's practice is complete, we should have a better idea of the level of optimism attached to Chubb's status for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Analysis: Chubb didn't practice at all last week, so his limited participation Wednesday is a step in the right direction. The running back previously relayed that he hopes to play Sunday against the Steelers, but his availability hinges on how his calf responds to the work he does at practice this week. If Chubb remains out or is limited at all this weekend, D'Ernest Johnson would continue to see an expanded role in the Browns' rushing attack, with Kareem Hunt (calf) still on injured reserve.

Hopeful to play Sunday
Chubb hopes to play Sunday against the Steelers, but he needs to see how his calf injury responds in practice this week before a decision on his status is made, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: With that in mind, Chubb told Ulrich that his calf feels good after he put some work in Monday, but how it holds up after Wednesday's practice should give him a better idea of where's he's at in advance of the Week 8 contest. Look for the running back, who has missed the Browns' last two games, to be listed as a limited participant when Wednesday's injury report is posted.

Chubb (calf) is expected to return to game action during Sunday's matchup against the Steelers, Josina Anderson of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Chubb returned to practice Monday after missing the last two games due to a calf injury, but coach Kevin Stefanski has remained optimistic that the running back will be back on the field against Pittsburgh. The 2018 second-rounder is expected to suit up Sunday as long as he doesn't experience any setbacks in practice this week, and his presence would provide a significant boost to the team's rushing attack with Kareem Hunt (calf) sidelined.

Coach hopeful for Week 8 return
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said he's hopeful that Chubb (calf) will be able to play in the team's Week 8 game against the Steelers on Oct. 31, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Chubb sat out his second straight game Thursday due to his calf injury, and with Kareem Hunt landing on injured reserve earlier in the week with a calf strain of his own, it was D'Ernest Johnson who picked up the start at running back in the Browns' 17-14 win over the Broncos.

Analysis: Nick Chubb's calf injury kept him from suiting up Week 6 versus the Cardinals, but with Kareem Hunt (calf) now expected to miss multiple weeks and be placed on IR, the Browns backfield is in dire need of a boost.

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Chubb (calf) won't be placed on injured reserve, and the running back hasn't been ruled out from returning to action Week 7 against the Broncos on Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: While battling a calf injury, Chubb failed to practice in any fashion this week before being ruled out ahead of Sunday's home game against the Cardinals. The lack of recent on-field activity will make it difficult for Chubb to gain clearance for a Thursday night Week 7 contest, but the Browns appear content to view the 25-year-old as day-to-day rather than week-to-week at this time.

Analysis: Chubb has yet to practice this week while dealing with the calf issue, and it appears he won't be participating again Friday. Kareem Hunt (wrist) also is banged up but was on the field for Friday's session. It remains to be seen if the injury will affect Chubb's availability for Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals.

Missing another practice
Chubb (calf) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday and is set to go down as a non-participant on the Browns' injury report, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Chubb's absence from a second straight practice suggests his lack of reps Wednesday may not have only been for maintenance purposes. Though the Browns provided no indication that Chubb was bothered by the calf injury Week 5 on his way to rumbling for a season-high 161 yards in a loss to the Chargers, the running back's status for a Week 6 matchup with the Cardinals is in question. If Chubb is able to get back on the practice field Friday in at least a limited capacity, it would alleviate some…read more

Not practicing Wednesday
Chubb won't practice Wednesday due to a calf injury, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Neither of the Browns' top two running backs will be on the field Wednesday, as Kareem Hunt (wrist, knee) is also sitting out the session. The Browns haven't indicated that either back's availability for Sunday's game against the Cardinals is in any major question, and it's plausible that their practice reps are simply being managed. In the Browns' 47-42 loss to the Chargers last weekend, Chubb logged 40 snaps and carried 21 times for 161 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for…read more

Huge day against Bolts
Chubb carried the ball 21 times for 161 yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 47-42 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: With Kareem Hunt continuing to dominate the red-zone touches and scoring twice from inside the 10-yard line Sunday, Chubb took matters into his own hands with a dazzling 52-yard TD run early in the third quarter. The fourth-year back set a new season high in rushing yards while hitting triple digits for the second straight game, giving Chubb plenty of momentum heading into a Week 6 clash with the undefeated Cardinals.

Hits century mark in win
Chubb rushed 21 times for 100 yards and brought in his only target for five yards in the Browns' 14-7 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Chubb came through with his first 100-yard effort of the season after gaining at least 83 yards on the ground in each of his first three games. The fourth-year back came close to recording his fourth touchdown of the season on a late second-quarter drive, but he was stuffed at the Vikings' two-yard line. Chubb will look to build on another strong fantasy effort when he tangles with the Chargers defense on the road Week 5.

Workmanlike effort in Week 3 win
Chubb rushed 22 times for 84 yards in the Browns' 26-6 win over the Bears on Sunday.
Analysis: It was about as vanilla a stat line as one will see from Chubb in a game where he put up a solid day on the ground, as the star running back is often good for a score. However, backfield mate Kareem Hunt was the more efficient of the two Sunday, posting 155 total yards and a rushing TD while Chubb failed to draw a target for the first time all season. Chubb's solid, albeit unremarkable, Week 3 stat line aside, he'll look to make up for his first touchdown-less game of the season in a Week 4…read more

Salvages fantasy day late
Chubb rushed 11 times for 95 yards and a touchdown and secured his only target for three yards in the Browns' 31-21 win over the Texans on Sunday.
Analysis: Chubb was having an efficient but relatively nondescript day against a vulnerable Texans run defense until he exploded for a 26-yard touchdown run with just under six minutes remaining to give Cleveland some valuable breathing room after Houston had closed to within 24-21. The reduced workload on the ground Sunday was a disappointment for fantasy managers, especially considering Kareem Hunt outpaced Chubb by a pair of carries. That could well prove to be an anomaly based on each player's past…read more

Finds end zone twice in loss
Chubb carried the ball 15 times for 83 yards and two touchdowns and caught both his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 33-29 loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: The 25-year-old found the end zone twice in the first half as the Browns built a 22-10 lead, but the defense couldn't keep Patrick Mahomes down for a full 60 minutes. Chubb saw 17 touches to Kareem Hunt's nine on the afternoon, a ratio that would provide a big boost to Chubb's fantasy potential if it holds for the rest of 2021. He could be poised for another big game in Week 2 at home against the Texans.

Chubb did not play in Sunday's 19-10 win over the Falcons in preseason Week 3.
Analysis: Some of the Browns regulars got work Sunday -- quarterback Baker Mayfield, running back Kareem Hunt -- but Chubb was given a pass. Chubb made zero headlines during training camp, which is a good thing. Chubb and the Browns will begin preparations for Week 1 of the regular season at Kansas City.

Inks three-year extension
Chubb and the Browns agreed to a three-year, $36.6 million extension Saturday that includes $20 million guaranteed, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The 2018 second-round pick was entering the final year of his rookie deal, but he's now under contract with Cleveland through the 2024 campaign. Chubb played in 12 games last year and ran for 1,067 yards and 12 touchdowns on 5.6 yards per carry after breaking out with 1,494 rushing yards in 2019. He's projected to remain one of the top running backs in the league for the foreseeable future despite Kareem Hunt also being in the backfield mix.

Hopes to stay in Cleveland
Chubb said Tuesday he wants to remain a member of the Browns after his rookie contract expires following the upcoming season, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports. "It would mean a lot," Chubb said. "Cleveland is where I want to be. Hopefully everything can work out in that direction."
Analysis: Chubb added that his agent and the team have already discussed a potential extension this offseason. He's been a key component of Cleveland's offense since he arrived as a second-round pick in 2018, but it wasn't until he played behind one of the NFL's best lines in a run-heavy offense in 2020 season that his desire to remain with the Browns was solidified.

Limited impact in postseason exit
Chubb rushed 13 times for 69 yards and caught two of five targets for four yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC divisional round.
Analysis: Chubb was bottled up in the first half, mustering just 12 yards on five carries and three targets. He finally got going on Cleveland's first touchdown drive in the third quarter, ripping off runs of 23 and 18 yards on consecutive plays to set up a Jarvis Landry touchdown catch.

Notches 40-yard receiving TD
Chubb ran for 76 yards on 18 carries and hauled in all four of his targets for 69 yards and a receiving touchdown during Sunday's 48-37 wild-card win against the Steelers.
Analysis: Having paced the NFL with 4.0 yards per carry after contact this season, Chubb netted his second consecutive 1,000-yard rushing campaign despite missing Weeks 5 through 8 because of a sprained MCL in his right knee. He also entered the playoffs with seven rushing TDs over his final six regular-season outings. After chalking up 108 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries against Pittsburgh last Sunday afternoon, Chubb rumbled for 17 yards on his opening carry of the wild-card round, following that…read more

Tops 1,000 yards on ground
Chubb carried the ball 14 times for 108 yards and a touchdown in Week 17 against the Steelers.
Analysis: Chubb topped 1,000 rushing yards on the season with his third carry of the game -- a 47-yard touchdown. That feat is even more impressive given that Chubb missed four contests with a knee injury, beginning in Week 5. He closed the season strong upon his return, topping 100 total yards in all but two of his last eight efforts. He'll play a key role in the Browns' potential playoff success and will continue to lead the team's backfield.

Analysis: Chubb was bottled up in the first half, mustering only six yards on eight carries as Cleveland fell into a 13-3 hole. The team largely abandoned the run while playing catch-up after halftime, but Chubb managed to salvage his day with a one-yard touchdown late in the third quarter. He also set a new season high with five catches. Chubb should see a heavier workload on the ground in Week 17 as the Browns try to break a 17-year playoff drought against Pittsburgh.

Chubb rushed 15 times for 50 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 20-6 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Chubb punched in a one-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to salvage what would have been a mediocre outing in a favorable matchup (the Giants entered ranking 20th in points allowed to opposing running backs). It was the first time the star back was held under 4.0 yards per carry in a game this season (3.3), which is not surprising given that he entered the contest with a league-best mark of 5.9 yards per tote.

Scores twice in narrow defeat
Chubb rushed 17 times for 82 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 47-42 loss to the Ravens. He also caught both of his targets for 21 yards.
Analysis: Chubb set the tone for the Browns in the first half, scoring from seven yards to cap Cleveland's opening drive before punching it in from 14 yards prior to halftime. The tailback kept it going in the second half, although teammate Kareem Hunt scored twice when Chubb came out. Despite Hunt's presence, Chubb has been dominant this season, and he's been particularly hot lately.

Tallies seventh touchdown
Chubb rushed the ball 18 times for 80 yards and a touchdown in Week 13 against the Titans. He also chipped in one reception for 26 yards.
Analysis: Chubb's workload was a bit lighter than past weeks as the Browns jumped out to a 38-7 lead. He still managed to make the most of his opportunity, highlighted by a run of 29 yards as well as a one-yard rushing touchdown. Also positive was Chubb's work as a receiver, as he converted a screen pass into a 26-yard gain midway through the first quarter. Despite missing four games due to a knee injury, Chubb now has seven touchdowns and 874 total yards. He'll run into a tough Ravens defense in Week 14.

Records fourth 100-yard game
Chubb carried 20 times for 114 yards during Sunday's 22-17 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Chubb was bottled up in the early going but padded his stat line quite a bit with an explosive 54-yard run in the fourth quarter. He was held out of the end zone and wasn't targeted in the passing game, giving him a respectable yet mundane fantasy line despite the strong effort in a tough matchup. Chubb has surpassed the 100-yard mark in four of his six games while also scoring five touchdowns, and he should thrive on the ground next Sunday against a hapless Jaguars defense.

Chubb (knee) is expected to handle the bulk of the carries for the Browns in his first game back from injured reserve Sunday against the Texans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: After missing four games with a sprained MCL in his right knee, Chubb proved his health upon rejoining the Browns for practice this week. He was notably able to take part in all drills during Thursday's workout, prompting the Browns to activate him from IR on Saturday.

The Browns still could opt to take a cautious approach to Chubb's recovery and allow him another week of rest, but the 24-year-old's chances of returning Sunday at least look encouraging.

The quick cut ability is generally a good indicator of a back's readiness for game action.

Analysis: The Browns designated Chubb to return from IR earlier this week, so he'll continue practicing Wednesday as the team continues to assess whether he's fit to return to the game action this weekend.

The Browns designated Chubb (knee) for return from injured reserve Monday.
Analysis: Chubb's recovery timeframe puts him on track to resume practicing this week and potentially retake the field against Houston on Sunday, and being designated to return from IR is the first step in that process. A sprained MCL in his right knee has sidelined Chubb since Week 4, during which time Kareem Hunt has functioned as Cleveland's primary ball carrier. Once Chubb is back at full strength, he and Hunt stand to resume running as a lethal tandem.

Another two scores
Chubb carried the ball 19 times for 108 yards and two touchdowns in the team's Week 3 win over Washington. He also added one reception for two yards.
Analysis: Chubb saw just over half of the team's 37 rushing attempts and made the most of his opportunities. He punched in his first score midway through the second quarter from 16 yards out and followed that up with a 20-yard trip to the end zone to help clinch the win in the final quarter. While Kareem Hunt continues to earn plenty of work out of Cleveland's backfield, Chubb has shown the skill to produce even with the split workload by averaging 5.8 yards per rush through three games.

Analysis: Supporting that notion is that Cleveland's running back coach Stump Mitchell noted that Chubb has been attending meetings and doesn't have any headaches at this stage. In the meantime, Kareem Hunt is handling first-team practice reps out of the team's backfield.

Back in building
Chubb has been present at the Browns' headquarters since suffering a concussion during Monday's practice, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Chubb has not yet been cleared to return, but his presence in the building is a positive sign. While he takes the time to pass through all five phases of the concussion protocol, Kareem Hunt will handle a first-team reps for the Browns.

In concussion protocol
Coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed Tuesday that Chubb is in the NFL's concussion protocol, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Chubb will thus be held out of practice Tuesday and is considered day-to-day. In his absence, Kareem Hunt figures to take the team's first-team backfield reps.

Exits with possible concussion
The Browns are evaluating Chubb for a possible concussion after he was on the receiving end of a hard tackle from teammate Mack Wilson during Monday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: The incident occurred when Chubb reeled in a short pass before being met by Wilson, who hit him around the shoulder area. Chubb walked off the field with a trainer by his side and didn't return to practice, the Browns' first padded session of training camp. He'll presumably go through testing over the next day or two as the Browns look to confirm whether or not he sustained a concussion.

Ready to share with Hunt
Chubb says he's excited to work with Kareem Hunt in the Cleveland backfield, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Chubb was averaging 19.3 carries and 4.0 targets per game at the midway point of 2019, before dropping to 18.0 carries and 2.1 targets over the final eight weeks with Hunt in the lineup. That still left Chubb as one of the more heavily used runners in the NFL, with the Browns even utilizing formations that put him on the field at the same time as Hunt. It isn't clear if those two-back looks will be popular under new coach Kevin Stefanski, who takes over an offense that added TE Austin Hooper…read more

Ends season on down note
Chubb rushed for 41 yards on 13 carries and caught one of two targets for one yard in Sunday's 33-23 loss to the Bengals in Week 17.
Analysis: The Browns played from behind for much of the game, but not so much that they should have abandoned Chubb. He finished with a season low in carries and yards while losing the NFL rushing title to Tennessee's Derrick Henry. In a disappointing season for the organization, Chubb was one of its few bright spots. Cleveland fired head coach Freddie Kitchens following the game, so there will be some changes to the team in 2020. Chubb, however, is expected to occupy the same role as the team's lead…read more

Held in check by Ravens
Chubb gained 45 yards on 15 carries and did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 31-15 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: As Chubb has been the Browns' best player, the Ravens knew he was the first weapon to take away. The 45 yards from scrimmage is his lowest output of the season by a wide margin. If the Browns had entertained any thoughts of an upset or keeping their faint playoff hopes alive, they needed to open holes for him. Chubb will look to finish off the season with a better performance in Week 17 against the Bengals' 32nd-ranked run defense -- he averaged 7.1 yards per carry and gained 106 yards against…read more

Nearly 150 scrimmage yards Sunday
Chubb rushed 17 times for 127 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Cardinals. He also caught all three of his targets for 21 yards.
Analysis: Chubb was once again Cleveland's best offensive player, averaging a whopping 7.5 yards per carry. That figure was aided by Chubb's 33-yard touchdown run during the second quarter, giving the tailback eight rushing scores in consecutive seasons. Although backfield partner Kareem Hunt excelled through the air, catching eight passes for 62 yards, Chubb remains the Browns' workhorse on the ground. Sunday was the seventh time he's topped the 100-yard plateau this season and the third time he's done…read more

Records 117 scrimmage yards
Chubb carried 15 times for 106 yards and caught his only target for 11 additional yards during Sunday's 27-19 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Chubb averaged an impressive 7.1 yards per carry, although he was largely bottled up outside of an explosive 57-yard gain. He watched as Kareem Hunt received double-digit touches yet again and scored a short rushing touchdown despite lackluster results on most of his carries. Hunt's presence has certainly limited Chubb's weekly ceiling due to decreased usage, but he's still averaged 95.6 rushing yards over the last five games to put him near 1,300 for the season. He will look to thrive in next…read more

Gains 79 yards in loss
Chubb ran for 58 yards on 16 carries and added a 21-yard catch during Sunday's 20-13 loss to Pittsburgh.
Analysis: The Steelers held Chubb to his first game with less than 90 total yards of offense since Week 1. The sophomore back has been supremely productive, but he has just one touchdown in his last six outings. Kareem Hunt hasn't eaten into Chubb's carries too much since making his debut in Week 10, but he does have two touchdowns in four games. That will be worth keeping in mind heading into Sunday's contest against Cincinnati, thought the Bengals came into Week 12 surrendering 4.8 yards per rush,…read more

Scores with 164 scrimmage yards
Chubb carried 21 times for 106 yards during Sunday's 41-24 win over the Dolphins. He also caught three of four targets for 58 additional yards.
Analysis: Chubb exploited this favorable matchup to the tune of 5.0 yards per carry, as he topped the 100-yard mark for the fifth time this season. He also notched a new season high in receiving yardage thanks to a couple of big plays in the passing game. Kareem Hunt scored a short rushing touchdown in the first half, but Chubb got one of his own in the final minutes to end a four-game run without a TD. The second-year back continues to produce at a strong rate and will look to do so again next Sunday…read more

Massive workload in win
Chubb rushed 27 times for 92 yards in the Browns' 21-7 win over the Steelers on Thursday. He also failed to haul in his only target.
Analysis: Any doubts about whether Kareem Hunt would eat into Chubb's lead-back workload were put to rest for at least one more game, as the latter logged a season-high workload. Chubb frequently found running room at a premium against a stingy Steelers front, but he did enough to help keep the chains moving and crossed the 90-yard threshold for the sixth time this season. While Hunt's role figures to continue expanding over the season's remaining games, Chubb will head into a highly favorable Week 12…read more

Produces in Hunt's return
Chubb carried 20 times for 116 yards and caught two passes for an additional five yards during Sunday's 19-16 win over the Bills.
Analysis: Chubb excelled despite a tough matchup against the Buffalo defense, which he gashed to the tune of 5.8 yards per carry. Meanwhile, Kareem Hunt made his season debut, catching seven passes and receiving four carries en route to recording a combined 74 yards of his own. If this game was any indicator, the Browns plan on utilizing the unique skillsets of both of their talented backs, though Chubb should still dominate the carries on a weekly basis. He'll look to do just that in Thursday's matchup…read more

So-so numbers in loss
Chubb carried the ball 20 times for 65 yards and caught four of five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: While he's amassed at least 85 scrimmage yards in every game this season, Chubb had difficulty making an impact in this one -- his longest gain went for only 11 yards, and his 3.3 YPC was his worst performance of the year. The second-year RB will look to ramp things up at home next week, facing a Bills defense that just let Adrian Peterson top the century mark against it.
