The Cleveland Browns have been struggling immensely on the offensive side of the ball to start the 2024 season. Through four games, they are ranking in the bottom five in terms of total yards and bottom ten in points. Deshaun Watson’s underwhelming performance and the offensive line being in shambles deservedly receive most of the criticism but the running game has been equally disappointing so far. Obviously, the absences on the offensive line play a big part in the lack of production from the RB room but it’s hard to be impressed by anyone other than Jerome Ford so far.
Fortunately for the Browns, they are getting a major boost to their running back rotation. According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, head coach Kevin Stefanski expects star rusher Nick Chubb to return to action on Wednesday. He will be activated off the PUP list, opening the 21-day window for him to be added to the active roster.

Once a player leaves the PUP list, he has 21 days to return to the 53-man roster. He can practice with the team in that window but if he isn’t able to play after those 21 days, he will stay on the PUP list for the rest of the season…
