Browns Activate Nick Chubb Ahead of Bengals Game

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed cornerback Jamel Dean and wide receiver Kameron Johnson on injured reserve ahead of their Week 7 game against the Baltimore Ravens. They have activated defensive lineman Earnest Brown IV and punter Trenton Gill from IR to bolster their roster. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Chargers placed cornerback Deane Leonard on injured reserve and signed Dicaprio Bootle and Shaun Wade to their active roster, with injuries affecting key players ahead of their game against the Arizona Cardinals. In a surprising move, the Cleveland Browns made backup quarterback Jameis Winston inactive for their matchup with the Bengals, opting for Dorian Thompson-Robinson as the backup. The Browns also activated star running back Nick Chubb from the Physically Unable to Perform list, following a series of roster changes aimed at improving their 1-5 season. Chubb's return is seen as a potential turning point for the struggling Browns as they prepare for a critical AFC North clash.
