The second-best rushing team in the NFL is short on ballcarriers.
The Cleveland Browns placed running backs Nick Chubb and Demetric Felton on the COVID-19/reserve list Tuesday ahead of their Week 10 game against the New England Patriots. With John Kelly already on the COVID-19/reserve list, D'Ernest Johnson currently is the only running back on the active roster.
Cleveland attempted to remedy that situation by claiming veteran RB Royce Freeman -- but was thwarted by the Houston Texans, ESPN's Field Yates reported Wednesday.
