Nick Chubb Out With Calf Injury, Kareem Hunt Dealing With Wrist/Knee Injuries

The Browns running back tandem, Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt, are dealing with injuries that have kept them out of practice this week. Chubb missed his third practice in a row Friday with a calf issue and has been ruled out for Sunday's game. Hunt missed the first two days of practice with wrist/knee injuries. Hunt was seen on the field during the early portion of practice and will presumably be listed as a limited participant. We believe Hunt has a good chance of playing against Arizona, but he will not be as effective as usual.

Both running backs played their usual number of snaps in the high-scoring Week 5 loss to the Chargers. The pair combined for 222 rushing yards and 3 rushing touchdowns against the Chargers. Demetric Felton would fill in at running back if neither can play Sunday against the Cardinals.
