Browns Kevin Stefanski Reveals Plan For Nick Chubb Ahead Of Week 5
After spending the first four weeks of the season on the Cleveland Browns physically unable to perform list, star running back Nick Chubb will officially return to practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
The news comes as no surprise after multiple reports over the weekend mentioned that the team was likely to open up the 21-day practice window for Chubb. In doing so, that gives Cleveland three weeks to decide whether or not to activate the 28-year-old to the 53-man roster.
Stefanski wouldn’t commit to a timeline for Chubb to make his 2024 debut during that three game stretch. The Browns head man said he isn’t looking beyond Wednesday at this point. Reporting suggests that Chubb will not be ready to play against the Washington Commanders in Week 5.
A four-time Pro Bowler, Chubb has spent the last year-plus rehabbing from the grotesque knee injury he suffered in the team’s Week 2 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last season. The ailment required multiple surgeries to reconstructed the ligaments in his left knee.
Chubb has been a PUP designation for the team since training camp opened up in late July. Now, his long-awaited return to the field is closer than ever.
Along with Chubb, fellow running back Nyheim Hines is also nearing a return to practice according to Stefanski. Cleveland’s head man expressed optimism that Hines could be back as soon as this week as well, but didn’t quite commit to that timeline.
Hines has been a PUP designation since training camp along with Chubb, stemming from a torn ACL suffered in a 2023 jet ski accident.

Rangers capitalize on costly Guardians mistake, extend winning streak to six
Jacob deGrom pitched seven strong innings and the Texas Rangers took advantage of a bone-headed play by Cleveland rookie outfielder Cooper Ingle on Tuesday night to beat the Guardians 4-2 and extend their winning streak to six games.
DeGrom (7-5) allowed a two-run homer to Kyle Manzardo in the first before turning dominant. The right-hander gave up a leadoff single in the second before retiring 18 of the next 19 batters, improving to 4-0 in June.
Joc Pederson hit a two-run homer and Josh Jung added a solo shot as the AL West-leading Rangers improved to 7-2 on their road trip.
They got a big assist in the seventh inning when Ingle, making just his second major league start in the outfield, lost track of the number of outs and tossed a live ball into the stands, allowing the Rangers to take a 3-2 lead.
With a runner at second and one out, Ingle caught a routine fly ball hit by Rangers left fielder Alejandro Osuna for the second out. Thinking it was the third out, Ingle looked at the ball in his glove before throwing it over the protective netting to fans.
The umpires immediately ruled the ball was dead, and Ezequiel Duran was awarded home plate.
Pederson connected for his 14th homer — and 11th since May 26 — off Tanner Bibee (2-9) to tie it 2-all in the third.
Jung’s ninth homer made it 4-2 in the eighth.
Manzardo gave the Guardians a 2-0 lead in the first with his 10th homer.
Rangers shortstop Corey Seager was pulled before his at-bat in the first inning because of back discomfort. The five-time All-Star missed 19 games earlier this season with back spasms.

No idling: Why it’s against the law in Cleveland
CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Department of Public Health is educating drivers about a law many may not know about: the city’s ban on idling.
Under city law, idling is any time a driver sits in their car without a destination or purpose. The law prohibits idling for more than five minutes, or else drivers could be fined. There are limited exemptions to the law, including weather conditions and some vehicle types.
The health department said idling is illegal because of the effects our cars’ emissions have on the environment and our health. The health department said one minute of idling produces more carbon monoxide emissions than smoking three packs of cigarettes.
When we run our cars, tiny particles are emitted from the exhaust, and, according to the health department, they can enter our lungs and contribute to respiratory and cardiovascular problems.
Christina Yoka, chief of air pollution outreach with the Cleveland Department of Public Health, said the solution starts with thinking about your daily routine.
“From the time you leave your home for work in the morning, think about the time you get in the car,” she said. “Do you stop and get coffee, and you’re in the drive-thru? Do you look at your phone while you’re waiting to put something in your GPS and checking text messages?”
Yoka said a new anti-idling campaign is underway to remind Cleveland drivers and employees about the law. Signs will be placed in city parking lots and garages.
“There are all these moments throughout the day that we’re in our cars and we think, ‘Oh! It’s just two to three minutes, but then add that up over the course of the day,” she said.
Yoka said idling is never a good idea, but warmer temperatures like we’re seeing this week make pollution even worse. She recommends windshield covers, cracking your car windows and parking in the shade to keep cool.
