Nick Chubb: Covid| Week 10| When will be back from injury

Covid:

Leading up to a significant Week 10 battle in New England, Nick Chubb’s availability is now in question for the Browns. He’s been placed on the reserve/COVID list, and we’ve seen numerous players have been inactive over the past two seasons for this reason.

Will Chubb play in Week 10, or will handcuff D’Ernest Johnson shine again? We’ll have the latest updates below, as well as how fantasy rankings and start ’em, sit ’em decisions could be affected by a possible Chubb absence.

Week 10:

I hope you didn’t drop D’Ernest Johnson from your Fantasy football rosters, because he could be back in the spotlight in Week 10. Nick Chubb was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday following a positive test, and with Kareem Hunt’s status unclear as he remains on injured reserve, Johnson could find himself as the lead back for the Browns matchup with the Patriots on Sunday.

Chubb could, of course, be cleared in time for Sunday’s game, but that isn’t typically how things have worked with the policy this season. He is reportedly vaccinated, but would still need to be asymptomatic and provide two negative COVID-19 tests by Sunday to be cleared.

When will be back from Injury:

No real update from head coach Kevin Stefanski other than to say he doesn’t know if Chubb will be able to play on Sunday. But the coach did say that D’Ernest Johnson would serve as the starter id Chubb can’t go.

 Nick Chubb was placed on the COVID-19/reserve list on Tuesday, making his status for Week 10 up in the air. The news comes after a big showing in Week 9, where Chubb totaled 163 scrimmage yards and two scores on just 16 total touches.
