Panthers QB Cam Newton ACTIVE vs. 49ers

Browns RB Nick Chubb is expected to make his season debut in Week 7 against the Bengals

Chubb returned to practice this week, over a year since tearing multiple ligaments in Week 2 of last season. Jerome Ford has held down the fort pretty well so far, averaging 5.2 yards per carry on 48 attempts. But if healthy, Chubb is one of the best backs in the league. The 1-4 Browns will try to right the ship against the Eagles before getting their star rusher back.

The Lions and running back David Montgomery agreed to a contract extension that will keep the pair together through 2027.

Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs have formed one of the best running back duos in the league and this will keep that intact for a few more years. Monty is now tied to Detroit for at least three more seasons after this one. Monty has 271 yards on 63 carries with four touchdowns. He's been a key piece of the Lions offense since joining as a free agent before the 2023 season.

Matt LaFleur on Tucker Kraft, who was added to the injury report yesterday with a groin issue:

“He should be good to go.”

Kraft should be considered a locked-in TE1 this week, with upside for an overall No. 1 finish at the position.
