The rest of the tweet said the team felt he could have returned to the game if needed, so that sounds like good news for Week 15. Johnson saw his work on passing downs and as a change of pace behind Chubb, and that would likely continue if Hunt misses time. Schefter went on to report Hunt, “wanted to try and fight through it," but the Browns did not think they should put him back out there, according to HC Kevin Stefanski.

The Browns like their 1-2 punch at running back, but most of the time, Kareem Hunt takes the field when Nick Chubb goes to the sideline. This week, they’re considering some packages with Chubb and Hunt on the field together.

The Browns have scored a total of just 30 points in their last three games, and Stefanski acknowledged that he has to find ways to put more points on the board. That may involve using both of his running backs.

Good news for the Browns, who could be short on receivers. Hunt should get a normal workload, but pessimism is okay for one week.

The Cleveland Browns have designated RB Kareem Hunt (calf) to return from IR. He has 21 days to return to the active roster. Browns HC Kevin Stefanski is optimistic that Hunt could play Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens, according to Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal.

This is big news for a struggling Browns offense. Every day of practice matters for Hunt this week. Also note that after a month-plus layoff, his role Sunday, if he plays, could be limited.

Browns running back Kareem Hunt will be back at practice this week and he’s got his eyes on playing against the Ravens on Sunday night in Week 12.

Hunt's injury was thought to possibly be season-ending at the time it happened, but now Hunt is expected to practice and hopes to play on Sunday night this week. Hunt said he feels ready, but the practice sessions leading into the weekend will determine that once and for all. While Hunt would eat into Chubb's workload a bit, he would move Johnson back to this RB3 role.

Stefanski said Kareem Hunt and Jack Conklin will be back "at practice this week at some point."

The return of Hunt will cut into the workload of Chubb who had 22 rushes for 130 yards as well as a receiving TD this past week. The return of Hunt would also push Johnson back to the team's RB3. Johnson had just five carries in Week 11 but did produce 26 yards. Hunt's status this week will certainly be one to watch. Keep in mind the Browns play on Sunday night in Week 12 at Baltimore.

Both players are vaccinated, thus their status for Sunday’s game against New England remains in question. Each player would need two negative tests 24 hours apart to play, Schefter went on to say. With Hunt on IR, Johnson would step in again if Chubb has to miss Week 10.

Stefanski said he’s “not ruling out” Nick Chubb from playing Thursday. “He’s progressing."

Hunt is going to miss time with a calf injury, so the team could really use the return of Chubb. The bad news is it's a short week, and the Browns will play the Broncos on Thursday night in Week 7. If Chubb can go, he'll likely be in line for a big workload with Johnson and Felton being a change of pace and passing down options.

Browns RB Kareem Hunt is expected to miss several weeks with his calf injury, source said. He’ll likely head to Injured Reserve.

It's not surprising news as Hunt was charted off the field. Chubb is battling his own calf injury and with a short week, Thursday night game, may not be ready to go for Week 7. If he's not, that would leave the RB work to Johnson and the rookie Felton. It would be a tough matchup as the Browns host the Broncos.

Browns RB Kareem Hunt is done for the day with a calf injury.

The Browns were already without Nick Chubb going into today and now have lost their other star running back. Pelissero noted Hunt was down on all fours with his teammates surrounding him. He was helped off the field as he could not put any pressure on his right leg. Hunt finished with 78 total yards on 17 touches as the Browns are down big against the Cardinals.
