Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) started running on land last week and is "progressing appropriately" as he continues his rehab from the torn medial collateral ligament and anterior cruciate ligament he suffered early last season.
Huddle Up: Chubb's ability to work his way back from a gruesome knee injury in college and make himself into a very good NFL running back was nothing short of incredible. However, as a running back who will turn 29 years old right after Christmas this season, the odds may be stacked too high against him to return to his previous RB1 heights now. While the team has offered no timeline yet, fantasy managers should not expect Chubb to begin the season on time. Expect Jerome Ford to be the lead back and D'Onta Foreman to fill the Kareem Hunt role until Chubb is ready.

Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) is "attacking his rehab every day," according to head coach Kevin Stefanski, who was unwilling to commit to a timetable for a return for his star running back.
Huddle Up: No news in this case would suggest that Stefanski is perhaps feeling some level of doubt that Chubb will return to his pre-injury self, but the running back also has more than four months of rehab before the team has to make any real decisions regarding his future. Chubb recently restructured his contract to include more incentives, so he will have all the motivation he needs to return as quickly as possible. Chubb will remain a wild-card in fantasy drafts until we receive some kind of timetable for his return. Until then, Jerome Ford and D'Onta Foreman will have extra fantasy value.

Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb restructured his contract Thursday, April 11, to reduce his $11.775 million base salary with a chance to earn it back in incentives.
Huddle Up: Chubb is one of the most talented backs in the league, but he's coming back from another gruesome injury. He could be a bargain in fantasy drafts but will carry serious risk. If you can grab him as an RB2 and back him up with an upside rookie, you could be in business.

Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) is "doing a fantastic job with his rehab" and should be able to move from the conditioning phase of his rehab to some pre-football activity in April, according to general manager Andrew Berry.
"As we think about it, until we see him in the next couple of months, I think the next - call it three - months will be pretty telling in terms of his potential readiness for early in the season. We're going to be conservative in terms of our approach in our assessment with building the roster because (Chubb is) coming off of a major knee injury. But I do have to give him a lot of credit. He's done a really, really nice job. But I think we'll have a better sense. Don't hold me to it, but I think probably if you ask me that question around the draft, I may have maybe a little bit more of a specific answer," Berry said.
Huddle Up: Berry suggested that while the hope is Chubb (who underwent one surgery in late September and a second surgery on Nov. 14) is ready to go by Week 1, that timeline is fluid. He also noted that the additions of Nyheim Hines and D'Onta Foreman in free agency were less about Chubb and more about roster building. Given the seriousness of his injury, fantasy managers would be wise to not count on him for Week 1, nor should they expect him to be his usual self early in the season. As such, he should probably be viewed as a high-upside RB3 in early drafts until further notice.

Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) is not in the team's plans to release in the offseason.
Huddle Up: A report came out a few days ago that he could be cut in the offseason, but one of the team's primary beat writers has shot that notion down. Chubb had a catastrophic knee injury last year, and the 28-year-old may not be his prolific self until the second half of the season. Buyer beware, but he's a low-end RB1 option if he's healthy enough to start the season.

Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) underwent his scheduled second surgery on Tuesday, Nov. 14, to repair the torn anterior cruciate ligament he suffered in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. According to performing surgeon James Voos, Chubb has "progressed very well" following his first surgery in late September and should be able to return to play during the 2024 season.
Huddle Up: It is far too early to know if Chubb has any chance to make it back in time for the opener next year, but the mere fact that is even a possibility at this point is amazing. For now, dynasty managers should proceed as if Chubb will return at some point after the start of next season. For the rest of the 2023 season, however, Jerome Ford appears to be the clear lead back in Cleveland and a solid RB2 option. Kareem Hunt has moved into more of a breather back who will vulture touchdowns from Ford at the goal line.

Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) reportedly started lifting weights again recently, according to a source. Per the source, Chubb is keeping the workouts limited to his upper body and still awaiting surgery on his torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Huddle Up: Yes, he is still done for the year, but Chubb is just built different. While fantasy managers would love if he already had the surgery and was rehabbing his knee, it is still a great sign that he has already been given the green light to work in any capacity. Given the seriousness of his injury, Chubb may be hard-pressed to return to the field by Week 1 next season. However, he is one player worth betting on to beat a recovery timeline given his history.

Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) underwent successful surgery to repair his torn meniscus and MCL, but it was discovered during surgery that he'll also need surgery to repair his ACL, according to sources Saturday, Sept. 30. He's expected to recover in time to return during the 2024 season.
Huddle Up: This could very well add extra time to his recovery, and multi-ligament tears are more difficult to come back from. It isn't clear when the surgery will be, but this certainly lowers his value in dynasty leagues.

Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) could return in six to eight months after initial tests revealed that he suffered only a torn MCL, according to sources.
