Nick Chubb Will Play Against Bengals
3 years agoCleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (chest, ribs) was limited in practice all week but was removed from the final injury report for Week 18 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Chubb curiously only had 12 carries, his fewest since Week 12, and ran for 58 yards against one of the worst run defenses in the NFL in the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17's Monday night game, leading many to wonder if he was too injured to play. He's clearly dealing with an injury, but it's not serious enough to keep him from playing in the regular season finale. However, Cleveland may take it easy on him once again, especially if pass-catching back Kareem Hunt (ankle) returns to action. Chubb is still in the RB1 picture, but he's more of a low-end RB1 to close out the year.
