Nick Chubb

Dave Helman breaks down the highly anticipated matchup between the Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Within the segment, Helman discusses Nick Chubb's injury. How serious is the injury? How will Deshaun Watson and the Browns respond without Chubb for the rest of the season? Helman also makes sure to talk about TJ Watt and the Steelers' impressive defense, while also discussing if Kenny Pickett will be able to improve his performance moving forward.

Browns running back Nick Chubb's contract was an offseason talking point after he suffered a season-ending injury in 2023, so there was a familiar ring to General Manager Andrew Berry fielding questions about Chubb's future after his latest health issue.

Foreman saw an uptick in utilization towards the end of the season following season-ending injuries to Nick Chubb and Jerome Ford, but he struggled with the opportunity in an offense that went 24 consecutive drives without a touchdown before a fourth quarter touchdown in Week 18. The soon-to-be unrestricted free agent ends the 2024 season with 71 carries for 232 yards and no touchdowns, adding just six receptions.

Ford's season ends with a rushing line of 104-565-3 and a receiving line of 37-225-0 on 43 targets. He averaged a career-best 5.4 YPC and would have been on to replicate his 2023 numbers before Nick Chubb returned in Week 7 and handled most of the team's rush attempts until a foot injury he suffered in Week 15 ended his season. Ford is under contract through next season and could have a chance at another premiere role depending on how Chubb's recovery goes and who else the Browns decide to bring in during the offseason.
