NFL News Roundup: Browns Place Nick Chubb on IR; Commanders Open Jonathan Allen’s Practice Window
The Cleveland Browns announced that they have placed running back Nick Chubb on the injured reserve list, ending his season due to a knee injury. Chubb, a standout player for the Browns, tallied 1,073 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns in the 2022 season. His loss will be a significant blow to the Browns’ offense, particularly in a division that includes formidable teams like the Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Cincinnati Bengals.
Meanwhile, the Washington Commanders have opened the practice window for defensive tackle Jonathan Allen, who has been working to recover from a high ankle sprain. The decision marks a positive step in Allen’s rehabilitation, as the pass rusher has tallied 15.5 sacks over the past two seasons and is a crucial part of the Commanders’ defense. With Allen set to return, the team will look to regain its footing on the defensive side of the ball after struggling in recent weeks.
