Stefanski said Chubb would go on injured reserve, but that he expects him to return at some point this season, so there is a bit of good news. However, the story mentioned it could be six weeks. The team didn't put an official timetable on the injury, figuring Chubb will work hard to get back. While it's expected Hunt will take over, Johnson rushed for 95 yards against the Cowboys and could certainly see a share of the workload too.

The Browns announced RB Nick Chubb is out for the rest of Sunday’s game against the Cowboys with a knee injury.

Chubb went down in the first quarter and the team just made it official he will not return today. The Browns have been mixing between Kareem Hunt and D’Ernest Johnson, who is actually leading the team in rushing at half with five carries for 52 yards. Hunt has five carries for 36 yards and a touchdown. The Browns are leading Dallas, 31-14, at the break.

Browns RB Nick Chubb is questionable to return to Sunday’s game against the Cowboys with a knee injury.

From Week 10 to Week 17, Hunt was the No. 19 running back with a 10.4 per game average (half-PPR) over the final eight weeks. He scored 1.9 fewer points per game than backfield mate Nick Chubb, and Chubb is going three rounds earlier. Hunt has top five upside if anything were to happen to Chubb, but he also comes with a fifth-round price tag. The Browns should be run-heavy under new HC Kevin Stefanski, and the team invested in the offensive line, which has the potential to become an elite unit in 2020. The one worry is that Hunt’s role will change for the worse under the new regime. Hunt has weekly value and high upside, so he’s a good target for those wanting to wait on the running back position, but aren’t willing to go full Zero RB.

Chubb ranks 14th among our RBs heading into drafts. With Hunt in the picture, it's not quite clear how the duo will be used for the Browns. Chubb's PPG dropped when Hunt returned to action last season, going from 17 to 12 PPG in half-PPR leagues. We do expect the Browns to be run-heavy this year after boosting their offensive line.

Other sources say Chubb was pulled down by a linebacker during practice. But The Browns were not supposed to be tackling ball carriers to the ground. The story added the Browns talked to their players Sunday about not being overly aggressive as they transition into pads and more contact. It's certainly worth watching to see if Chubb will miss time.

It will be interesting to see if Hunt's role will eat into Chubb's potential workload. Hunt was suspended the first eight weeks but was also dealing with a sports hernia surgery. At this point Hunt is worth a stash on your bench just to see how this plays out, but it's best to take a wait-and-see approach at least for Week 10.
