DEMETRIC FELTON

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb has been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list, giving the team one of its best players for a critical stretch of the season.

The Browns remain hopeful star running back Nick Chubb will play this week at New England despite testing positive for COVID-19. Chubb, who rushed for 137 yards and two touchdowns last week at Cincinnati, was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday along with rookie running back/punt returner Demetric Felton. Chubb must be symptom free and twice test negative 24 hours apart to be eligible to play Sunday against the Patriots.

A person familiar with the situation says Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb is being placed on the COVID-19 list after testing positive and could miss this week’s game at New England.
