Last Sunday at Huntington Bank Field while the Cleveland Browns played the Kansas City Chiefs, Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb left the game with a broken foot. This is another setback on the road to recovery for the beloved Browns running back. Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski made it official that Chubb was out for the rest of the 2024 season in his postgame press conference. But there is some good news about his injury.

The following Monday the Cleveland Browns did announce that Nick Chubb will not need surgery on the broken foot. Chubb is expected to make a full recovery in the next 4-6 weeks. That should be by the end of January 2025. This means that Chubb should be able to continue his rehabilitation from his 2023 torn ACL injury that happened in week 2 of 2023 in Pittsburgh. Chubb was able to return to the field in week 7 of this season against the Cincinnati Bengals in Cleveland. To make his return even more special he did score a touchdown in that game. Despite the good news on the seriousness of the broken foot, how will this change the Browns post season plans at running back in 2025?

I don’t think this changes the Cleveland Browns 2025 offseason plans at all. I can still see Nick Chubb signing a short-term team friendly deal to stay in Cleveland. Also, I see the Cleveland Browns drafting a running back in the 2025 NFL Draft. They could possibly pick a running back as early as the second round. I do not see them taking a running back early in the first round. The plan for Nick Chubb and the Cleveland Browns is for him to finish his career with the Cleveland Browns. I think this will happen because everyone involved wants it to happen. Despite what analytics might say.
