Nick Chubb Ruled out for Browns vs. Patriots After Going on Reserve/COVID-19 List

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters on Friday that Chubb won't be able to play because of COVID-19 protocols.

The Browns announced on Tuesday that Chubb and backup running back Demetric Felton have been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

It's unclear if Chubb and/or Felton tested positive for the virus.

Per ESPN's Jake Trotter, Chubb and Felton are fully vaccinated. They would have needed two negative tests within 24 hours to be eligible to play in Week 10 against the New England Patriots.
