Browns RB Nick Chubb to return to practice Wednesday

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb will practice for the first time this season on Wednesday, head coach Kevin Stefanski announced Monday.

Chubb began the regular season on the physically unable to perform list. He had surgery last September to repair a torn left MCL and meniscus, and underwent another surgery in November to repair a torn left ACL, injuries he sustained in Week 2 of 2023.

Players who begin the regular season on the PUP list are required to sit out a minimum of four games.

Stefanski said the Browns (1-3) are opening the 21-day practice window for adding Chubb to the 53-man roster.

“He’s working very hard,” Stefanski said. “Natural progression is for him to start practicing … we’ll see how he goes from there.”

The Browns lost 20-16 to the host Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Cleveland returns to action on Sunday at Washington (3-1).

Chubb, 28, made four consecutive Pro Bowl teams (2019-22) and rushed for more than 1,000 yards in each of those seasons, including 1,525 in 2022.

Since being selected by the Browns with the 35th overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft, Chubb has run for 6,511 yards and 48 touchdowns in 77 games (70 starts).

Jerome Ford is Cleveland’s leading rusher this season with 203 yards on 39 carries (5.2-yard average) and one touchdown in four games.

“It’s very frustrating. Nobody wants to be where we are. We have got to fight back off the ropes and we have got to come out swinging.”

“We’ve just got to execute. That’s all there is to it. We’ve all got to get on the same page,” said quarterback Deshaun Watson.

“You pour so much into it to get those wins. So it’s disappointing when you don’t get the results you want,” said two-time NFL Coach of the Year Kevin Stefanski.

The Cleveland Browns are reeling, and nobody seems to know why.

Coming off an 11-6 season last year, the Browns seemed poised to continue the good times with a deep run into the postseason this year. But that hasn’t happened. They are only four games into this season and it has been a disaster.

Making it even worse: the Browns are 1-3, and they haven’t played any good teams. Their losses are to the 2-2 Cowboys, the 1-3 Giants, and the 2-2 Raiders. The lone win was over the 0-4 Jaguars.

Adding insult to embarrassment, Cleveland has not scored more than 18 points in a game. The Browns lost 33-17 to Dallas, 21-15 to the Giants, and 20-16 to the Raiders. Even when the Browns win they have trouble scoring points.

Cleveland’s only win was 17-13 over winless Jacksonville. In their first four games the Browns have been outscored 66-32. What is going to happen when Cleveland plays good teams?
