CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Browns’ sluggish, struggling offense could get a jolt this week. Nick Chubb is nearly back. One of the NFL’s top running backs from 2019-22, Chubb is expected to practice for the first time in more than a year on Wednesday, returning after he suffered a major knee injury in Week 2 last season against Pittsburgh.

The Browns are expected to open up the 21-day window for Nick Chubb to return to practice, with the hopes of him playing in a couple of weeks.
