The Browns remain hopeful star running back Nick Chubb will play this week at New England despite testing positive for COVID-19. Chubb, who rushed for 137 yards and two touchdowns last week at Cincinnati, was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday along with rookie running back/punt returner Demetric Felton. Chubb must be symptom free and twice test negative 24 hours apart to be eligible to play Sunday against the Patriots.
news.yahoo.comCLEVELAND — (AP) — The Browns didn't have much time to celebrate their biggest win this season before being hit with another off-field issue. Star running back Nick Chubb is being placed on the COVID-19 list after testing positive and could miss this week's game at New England, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The team also played without most of its wide receivers against the New York Jets because of a COVID-19 outbreak. Running John Kelly and practice squad wide receiver Lawrence Cager were put on the COVID-19 list Monday. The 25-year-old Chubb has 721 yards and six touchdowns this season despite missing two games with a calf injury.
