Browns open practice window for Pro Bowl RB Nick Chubb

New York Times  

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb is scheduled to return to practice Wednesday for the first time in more than a year, head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday. The Browns have believed since last spring that they’d get Chubb back on the field this season, but his exact role and readiness to become the team’s primary runner remain uncertain. Stefanski said running back Nyheim Hines, who’s also coming back from a torn ACL and is on the non-football injury list, should return to practice this week as well. The Browns added Hines and D’Onta Foreman to their running back room in the offseason in anticipation of Chubb missing at least the season’s first month.
