Nick Chubb Injury Update for Fantasy Football
The Cleveland Browns' running back, Nick Chubb (knee), is on track to potentially return in Week 7.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski mentioned that Chubb's status is being evaluated "day to day." This is promising news for the team, especially considering the 28-year-old is just 13 months removed from a significant knee injury.
Chubb will likely need to complete at least one full practice before being cleared for the matchup against the Bengals, something he hasn't done yet.
Fantasy managers should take a cautious, wait-and-see approach for now. Fantasy managers should also continue to keep an eye out for his practice status throughout the week.

Nick Chubb Fantasy Football Outlook
If Chubb is cleared to play for Week 7 against the Bengals, he may see more work than initially expected but would likely be on a limited snap count, with D'Onta Foreman and Pierre Strong Jr. handling much of the workload.
His return could not come at a better time, as running back Jerome Ford (hamstring) exited Sunday's game against the Eagles and is now considered week-to-week. This leaves the door wide open for Chubb to claim back that RB1 workload for the Browns.
