Browns place RB Nick Chubb (knee), 4 others on PUP list

The Cleveland Browns placed running back Nick Chubb on the active/physically unable to perform list Wednesday as he continues to work his way back from major knee surgery. He was one of five Browns players to go on the PUP list, with two others put on the non-football injury list. Chubb, 28, had surgery in September on his torn left MCL and meniscus, followed by surgery to repair his torn left ACL in November. He sustained the injury in Week 2 last season against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He had major surgery on the same knee in 2015 while playing at Georgia. Also landing on the PUP list were three other players with knee injuries -- tackles Jack Conklin and Jedrick Wills Jr., and defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson -- and safety D'Anthony Bell (shin). Cornerback Greg Newsome II (hamstring) and running back Nyheim Hines (knee) went on the NFI list. Chubb made four consecutive Pro Bowl teams (2019-22) and rushed for more than 1,000 yards in each of those seasons, including 1,525 in 2022. Since being selected by the Browns with the 35th overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft, Chubb has run for 6,511 yards and 48 touchdowns. All seven players remain on the active roster and can be activated once they pass a physical. The Browns open the 2024 season at home against the Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 8. --Field Level Media
