Nick Chubb and Austin Ekeler Return to Practice

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb has returned to practice after a significant knee injury in Week 2 of the 2023 NFL season that ended his year. Chubb, who suffered a torn MCL and damaged ACL, has now entered a 21-day window for activation to the 53-man roster, though his exact return date remains uncertain. His return is highly anticipated as the Browns have faced challenges in their rushing game, ranking 26th in the league for rushing yards per game. The Browns are hopeful that Chubb's presence will boost their struggling offense, which has been a key area for improvement this season. Meanwhile, Austin Ekeler of the Washington Commanders has also returned to practice following a concussion, adding to the team’s positive start with a 3-1 record. These developments highlight the pivotal roles both running backs play in their respective teams' strategies moving forward.
