Nick Chubb Expected to Play vs. Steelers; Odell Beckham Jr. Forgoing Surgery During Season

My understanding is #Browns RB Nick Chubb (calf) is expected to return to game action this Sunday against the #Steelers, barring any setbacks in practice this week, per league source.

Chubb missed last week’s game due to a calf injury, which allowed D’Ernest Johnson to shine in his absence. He finished with the top Pro Football Focus grade for any running back during a single game this season, but he isn’t a serious threat to Chubb’s workload. Kareem Hunt is still on the IR with a calf injury, so Chubb could even see a bump in fantasy value moving forward.
