Latest update around Browns’ Nick Chubb brings us closer to a timetable on his return

One of the bigger questions that needs to be answered for the Cleveland Browns is when they expect Nick Chubb back in 2024.

Following a gruesome injury to his knee at the beginning of the 2023 season, general manager Andrew Berry provided an update on where Chubb stands on Tuesday at league meetings.

Chubb has already had two surgeries on the knee and is on the path to recovery, which does not have a designated timetable yet.

"I think that as we think about it until we see him in the next couple months, I think the next, call it three months, will be pretty telling in terms of his potential readiness for early in the season," Berry said via the Akron Beacon Journal. "We are going to be conservative in terms of our approach in our assessment with building the roster because he is coming off of a major knee injury. But I do have to give him a lot of credit. He's done a really, really nice job. But I think we'll have a better sense. Don't hold me to it, but I think probably if you ask me that question around the draft, I may have maybe a little bit more of a specific answer."

Chubb is set to begin some load running this month that will help judge where he’s at in his recovery and when the Browns expect him back on the field. At this point, it feels likely he won’t be ready to start the season, but that would be speculating with how much is public on his injury.

Either way, the Browns fully expect Chubb to be playing football for them in 2024 and that is good news. When the tough knee injury happened it did not always look like that would be the case.
