Nick Chubb injury: Pros and cons of picking up Browns backup RB Jerome Ford
Cleveland Browns backup running back Jerome Ford rushed 69 yards and fell inches shy of scoring a 70-yard touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers following the gruesome injury of RB1 Nick Chubb on Monday Night Football at Acrisure Stadium during Week 2 of the 2023 NFL season.
Ford, 24, also scored a receiving touchdown on MNF for his first points in the league and looks to be the team's first option in the backfield moving forward.
Chubb, 27, reportedly tore several knee ligaments and will miss the remainder of the season, according to Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski.
