Nick Chubb is the NFL’s best running back in Madden 24

Madden 24 ratings continue to drop, and the Browns boast the best running back in the game

We are now on day three of the player rating reveal from Madden 24. Today, running backs and offensive linemen have been unveiled, and the Cleveland Browns boast the best running back in the NFL. The dominance of Nick Chubb has been obvious over the past four seasons, and he is finally getting his flowers as the league’s best across the board. And Madden agrees as well.

Here we take a look at Chubb’s rating as well as the rest of the running backs on the roster as well.

Undrafted free agent running back Hassan Hall has not been added yet.

1 veteran player on the roster bubble at each position group for the Browns

After overhauling chunks of their roster, which veterans could find themselves on the bubble as training camp nears?

The Cleveland Browns and general manager set out to add talent not only to positions of need but all over their roster this offseason, and may not be done yet. While the microscope is on the defensive tackle room given how abysmal it was a year ago (meaning second-year player Perrion Winfrey will need to lock in this summer), there are now veterans on the roster bubble in every room.

Who else joins Winfrey as veteran roster bubble candidates as the Browns look to get training camp underway in three weeks? Here is one player per position that will be in a fight for a roster spot.

3 positional battles to watch as we wait for training camp

The first team is all but filled out, but what position battles are worth monitoring?

We are still about a month out from the Cleveland Browns returning to Berea for training camp. And for the most part, it should be a rather uninteresting one in terms of positional battles at key positions in 2023 after general manager Andrew Berry remained aggressive this offseason to add talent at needed spots on the depth chart.

However, there are a few depth positions that could provide a bit of intrigue when camp arrives to keep an eye on. Here are three battles worth monitoring when the Browns get back in the building later next month.

Details emerge regarding robbery of two Browns players over the weekend

New details emerged on Tuesday regarding the robbery of two Browns players over the weekend

New details have emerged regarding crimes committed against two Cleveland Browns over the weekend.

Defensive back Greg Newsome II and lineman Perrion Winfrey were the victims of an armed robbery by six masked men early on Monday morning. Neither were harmed during the incident but, according to ESPN, the suspects left the scene in Newsome’s vehicle with stolen jewelry in tow.

Running back Demetric Felton also had his car stolen over the weekend, though preliminary reports haven’t indicated that he was present at the time of the theft.

It is worth noting that quarterback Deshaun Watson was the victim of car theft earlier in the year, and at this time it is unclear whether any of these incidents are related.

News about the spate of crimes came on Tuesday just before the Browns reported to Berea for Cleveland’s mandatory minicamp. Developments in the story are sure to follow, so stay tuned to Browns Wire for all the facts about this regrettable incident.

Cleveland.com has reported that two Cleveland Browns players were robbed of their vehicles over the weekend. Running back Demetric Felton and cornerback Greg Newsome were the victims of the senseless carjackings. Late Monday night Newsome commented on the situation with a tweet reading “it’s a cruel world we live in”.

News about the thefts came after quarterback Deshaun Watson had his vehicle stolen from a dealership earlier this year. Thankfully, there were no reported injuries from either of the incidents in the past week, though the situation is, obviously, regrettable for all parties involved.

It is unclear if these crimes are related in any way, or if the Browns’ players are being deliberately targeted. Information regarding this spate of thefts is relatively scarce, but with three players now involved, the media is sure to get more involved in reporting details as they become available.

Stay tuned to Browns Wire for updates on the situation.

Could Demetric Felton be the plan at RB3?

Will Felton end up being the third running back in 2023?

One of the biggest remaining questions for the Cleveland Browns is who will make the roster at running back outside of Nick Chubb and Jerome Ford. When the Browns drafted Demetric Felton it was as a hybrid that could play in the backfield as well as lined up in the slot as a wide receiver. During OTAs this week, The OBR’s Brad Stainbrook reported that Felton would not be working much with wide receivers anymore.

For what the team needs at the position as a compliment to Nick Chubb this would make a ton of sense. Felton is a great athlete and pass catcher out of the backfield who can make something out of nothing. He can be dynamic and has the speed to hit a home run as a runner and receiver.

Most of his action in the NFL has been as a pass catcher playing wide receiver but that skillset could be precisely what the team needs in a backup/third-string running back. Felton has a great chance to prove himself in training camp and it’ll be interesting to follow in the preseason.

Jadeveon Clowney, Jack Conklin headline 7 inactives vs. Steelers

The Browns have announced their seven inactives

As the Cleveland Browns seek to end their disappointing 2022 campaign on a high note, with a chance to spoil the playoff dreams of the Pittsburgh Steelers, they have announced their seven inactives for this afternoon’s game. The elephant in the room here is defensive end, Jadeveon Clowney, as he was sent home and ruled out after lashing out at the Browns during an interview this week. Jack Conklin has also been listed as inactive after being ruled out with an ankle injury.

Here is the full list of inactives as the Browns look to end their season on a 5-2 run.

Browns announce 7 inactives, Jaelon Darden set to debut vs. Commanders

The Browns have announced their seven inactives as Jaelon Darden is set to make his debut

As the Cleveland Browns and Washington Commanders get set to go to battle on New Year’s Day, the away team has a slight advantage on paper. As the two sides get set for their matchup on the field, however, both teams have announced their inactives for the day. The Browns have announced their seven inactives, but not listed is wide receiver, Jaelon Darden. He is set to make his debut in the brown and orange after being claimed off of waivers a month ago.

Here are the seven inactives who will not dress for the Browns as they look to capture their seventh win on the season.

Browns Injury report: Jedrick Wills misses second practice, James Hudson could start vs. Commanders

The Browns are trending toward a week without Jedrick Wills

The second injury report of the week has come out for the Cleveland Browns as they prepare for the Washington Commanders. On paper, they should be in line for their seventh win of the season, but the game is not played on paper as they still have to go out and take care of business in D.C. They may, however, be without their starting left tackle as Jedrick Wills has missed his second practice in as many days. If he cannot go, second-year player James Hudson would be in line for the start for the Browns.

Here is the full list of players who missed practice or were limited Thursday for the Browns.

Jadeveon Clowney, Demetric Felton lead six inactives vs. Saints

The Browns have announced their six inactives today

As the Cleveland Browns and New Orleans Saints get set for their Christmas Eve showdown, the home team has announced their six inactives in this one. Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney is not a surprise inactive as he was ruled out with a concussion this week, but both wide receivers Jaelon Darden and Demetric Felton being shelved is a bit odd.

For the Saints, they will be without a handful of starters as wide receivers Chris Olave and Jarvis Landry, cornerback Marshon Lattimore, linebacker Pete Werner, and defensive end Payton Turner will all miss this matchup against the Browns.

Who else was listed as inactive for the Browns? We take a look here.
