Nick Chubb (calf) expected back for Browns Week 8
Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (calf) is expected to return for Week 8 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, reports Josina Anderson.
Anderson says Chubb is set to return, barring any setbacks at practice, after missing the last two games. D'Ernest Johnson ran wild last Thursday for 146 yards on 22 carries, but Chubb will likely return to workhorse duties. Kareem Hunt (calf) is still sidelined, so Johnson could have earned a larger role in passing-down situations over rookie Demetric Felton.
Chubb is averaging 16.1 FanDuel points per game this season. Per Pro Football Focus, Johnson was on the field for 22 passing snaps and ran 16 routes in Week 7. Felton played 13 passing downs and ran a route on each one.
