The Browns will be without both of their star running backs on Sunday. Kareem Hunt is on injured reserve with a calf injury and now Nick Chubb will miss the game after testing positive for COVID-19.
Chubb and backup running back Demetric Felton tested positive this week for the virus. The players are vaccinated, which opened the door for a return in time for Sunday's game at the Patriots but they did not get cleared in time.
In order to return to play, Chubb and Felton would have needed a pair of negative tests in a 24 hour period.
