Kareem Hunt Won't Return In Week 10
3 years agoCleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that running back Kareem Hunt (calf) will not come off Injured Reserve to play in Week 10 against the New England Patriots. The Browns aren't just going to rush Hunt back because three-fourths of their RB room is on the COVID-19 list this week. With Nick Chubb, rookie Demetric Felton and John Kelly on the COVID-19 list, D'Ernest Johnson is in line for an elevated workload this Sunday against the Pats. Brian Hill, who was signed on Tuesday, will likely back him up. Don't expect Johnson to run for over 150 yards like he did in his start against the Denver Broncos a few weeks ago, but the volume increase alone should put him on the RB2/3 borderline.
