A Cleveland Browns reunion with running back Nick Chubb is “increasingly unlikely,” general manager Andrew Berry said Friday morning, after the team added two running backs in the NFL draft.
Chubb, who ranks third on the Browns’ career rushing list, remains unsigned after spending the first seven years of his career in Cleveland. The Browns drafted Ohio State‘s Quinshon Judkins in the second round of the draft and Tennessee‘s Dylan Sampson in the fourth round.
“I wouldn’t rule anything out, but I would say that it’s probably increasingly unlikely,” Berry told 92.3 The Fan. “We do have two young guys that we liked. We think Jerome [Ford] plays a role. It’s basically kind of maybe seeing how the roles shake out in the running back room.
“You’re never going to rule out someone as near and dear to our heart as Nick, and I would expect him to take another step being a year removed from the knee injury. But I’d say a return is less likely, at least in the short term, with us right now.”
