Nick Chubb’s return to practice has injected a surge of optimism into the Cleveland Browns’ locker room.
The star running back’s presence on the field marks a significant milestone in his recovery journey, following a severe knee injury that sidelined him in Week 2 of the previous season.
After enduring two surgeries and an intensive rehabilitation process spanning over a year, Chubb is now focusing on rebuilding the strength in his knee.
While his 2024 debut remains uncertain, with this weekend’s game against the Commanders ruled out, Chubb is embracing every moment back on the practice field.
His return has not only energized his teammates but also sparked excitement among Browns fans.
In a heartfelt message to supporters, per News 5’s reporter Camryn Justice, Chubb expressed his deep appreciation for Cleveland.
Speaking to reporters, he said, “It means a lot. I love it here in Cleveland. I feel the love, the support from everyone everywhere I go anytime I’m out or anything. I love it here. It’s definitely motivation for me to get back out there for all the fans.”
The Browns have initiated a 21-day practice window for Chubb.
He has not set a specific date for his return, stating he’ll play when he feels fully prepared.
For now, Chubb’s presence alone provides a much-needed morale boost for the team, especially in light of their challenging 1-3 start to the season.
