Nick Chubb returns to practice for the Browns after knee surgery

Why it matters: Nick Chubb's return to practice is a positive sign for the Cleveland Browns and their struggling offense.

Chubb's return brings hope for the Browns' running game, which has been lackluster in his absence.

  • The Browns currently rank 26th in rushing yards per game, and Chubb's presence could provide a much-needed boost.

What's new: Chubb participated in his first practice since his season-ending knee injury in Week 2 of the 2023 season.

  • He underwent multiple procedures to repair various knee structures, including the medial capsule, meniscus, MCL, and ACL.

Yes, but: While Chubb's return to practice is encouraging, his availability for upcoming games remains uncertain.

  • He is unlikely to play in the next game against the Washington Commanders.
  • The Browns have a 21-day window to activate him to the 53-man roster, but they have not set a specific date for his season debut.

What to watch: The progress of Chubb's recovery and how he performs in subsequent practices will be key factors in determining his readiness to play.

  • Offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey believes it is too early to evaluate Chubb's performance after just one practice.

What's next: The Browns will continue to monitor Chubb's progress and evaluate his readiness to contribute on game day.

  • Chubb expressed confidence in his recovery and readiness to play when he feels good.
