Browns’ Top Two Backup Options For Joel Bitonio Are Already On IR, Including Chris Hubbard

The healthiest team might not always win the Super Bowl, but they tend to have a leg up. And this year, ‘healthiest’ takes on a new meaning in the middle of a pandemic. The Cleveland Browns will be down at least one starter, and possibly more over time, for Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it gets worse from there.

With the news of Joel Bitonio, their three-time Pro Bowl left guard and best offensive lineman, testing positive yesterday, the concern is now who will replace him in their starting lineup. Their top backup, former Steeler Chris Hubbard, has already been on the Reserve/Injured List.
