Jerome Ford the Cleveland Browns’ starting running back suffered a hamstring injury against the Philadelphia Eagles. Ford was tripped from behind during his rush for 11 yards. Ford went to the medical tent immediately after the run. He was escorted to the locker room immediately after. He is questionable to return.

Running back Pierre Strong and D’Onta Foreman have replaced Ford in the lineup. Strong and Foreman should have productive games against the Eagles. They are two adequate running backs who have familiarity with the offense.

The Browns must run the ball against the Eagles. Quarterback Deshaun Watson is struggling to move the ball through the air. The team’s passing offense struggled to start the game. The Browns scored zero points during the first quarter. The team is moving the ball well on the ground. They are averaging nearly five yards per carry against them. The Browns must produce on offense to beat the Eagles. They are losing to the Eagles 3-0 at the start of the second quarter.

Another offensive lineman carted off in Week 6

The Cleveland Browns’ starting center, Nick Harris, suffered a right leg injury against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Cleveland Browns’ starting center, Nick Harris, suffered a right ankle injury against the Philadelphia Eagles. Harris injured his lower leg on a pile-up on third down. He was carted off the field with an air cast on his right leg. Harris was starting for an injured Ethan Pocic.

Harris has suffered multiple season-ending injuries during his time with the Browns. The team selected Harris in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL draft. The team likes Harris as a player and teammate. The Browns traded for Harris before the season started after losing him in free agency. It’s regrettable how derailed his career has been by injuries.

Starting right guard Michael Dunn is moving to center to replace Harris. Rookie guard Zak Zinter will step in as the right guard. The Browns starting right tackle made his return against the Eagles. Unfortunately, the Browns cannot avoid injuries on their offensive line. The Browns must get healthy to battle for a wild card spot.

Veteran Jack Conklin gets the start over struggling Dawand Jones

The Browns make a change to their offensive line with the return of the two-time All-Pro

The Cleveland Browns have finally gotten Jack Conklin back on the field against the Philadelphia Eagles, and he even got the start over second-year player Dawand Jones.

Conklin, who suffered a severe knee injury in the first week of the season in 2023 and missed the rest of the season and the first six weeks this year, is finally back in the lineup. Head coach Kevin Stefanski stated that he would not disclose the role of Conklin heading into this Week 6 game.

Then he stepped onto the field with the first-team offense at the right tackle post. This does not come as too much of a surprise as Jones has struggled mightily in his second season after a stellar rookie campaign. With Jedrick Wills making his second start in a row and third on the season, the Browns have their original starting offensive tackles back on the field for the first time this season as they look to right the ship against the Eagles.

Is Nick Chubb playing today? The latest on the Browns star running back

Not this week…

As the Cleveland Browns get set to take on the Philadelphia Eagles, they need to get their ground game back on track. Getting star running back Nick Chubb, who had his 21-day window to return activated last week, would be a big boost toward that cause for the rest of the 2024 season.

Chubb suffered a significant knee injury, tearing both his ACL and MCL, in the second week of the 2023 season against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This was a Monday Night Football showdown, and while the Browns managed to rally to 11 wins that year, their run game has not been the same.

Is Nick Chubb playing today?

No, Nick Chubb will not suit up for the Browns today. He remains off of the 53-man roster and in his 21-day window to return. This means that Jerome Ford and D’Onta Foreman will continue to see the bulk of the carries for the Browns as they look to get back in the win column against the Eagles.

How long is Nick Chubb out?

Reports indicate that Nick Chubb will make his return to the Browns next week at home against the Cincinnati Bengals. If the Browns can sneak back to 2-4 today before entering AFC North play next week, there is still hope for their 2024 campaign.

Getting their superstar running back on the field would be a massive boost of confidence as they continue to get healthier along the offensive line as well. While Chubb will likely be eased in on a pitch count, seeing that No. 24 back on the field in the brown and orange will mean something to all of those in attendance at Huntington Bank Stadium and to those watching on TV.
