Nick Chubb Reportedly Unlikely To Play Thursday Night
3 years agoCleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (calf) reportedly is unlikely to play in Thursday's game against the Denver Broncos. According to Dan Graziano of ESPN, Chubb is doubtful to play Thursday night. Earlier, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski did not "rule out" Chubb from playing on Monday, but Cleveland will be careful with their star running back with the short turnaround for Thursday's game. The Browns will be without RB Kareem Hunt (calf) for the next 4-to-6 weeks. It leaves D'Ernest Johnson and Demetric Felton to lead the Browns backfield on Thursday in a tough matchup against the Broncos. Fantasy managers should look to add Johnson if they're in a bind, as the 25-year-old is expected to be the early-down option if Chubb is inactive.
