Browns General Manager Andrew Berry spoke to the media on Thursday, offering updates on two key offensive players recovering from injuries. While Berry was optimistic about quarterback Deshaun Watson’s return, he was more cautious when discussing running back Nick Chubb’s progress.
Chubb suffered a knee injury in Week Two last season and underwent multiple surgeries. However, Berry noted that Chubb’s rehab is going well as the season approaches. Chubb has been diligently working since the fall and recently began running on land, marking a significant milestone in his rehabilitation process.
Berry highlighted Chubb’s aggressive approach to his recovery, emphasizing that there is still a long road ahead. The upcoming weeks and months will be crucial in determining Chubb’s readiness for the season as he continues to increase the stress on his knee during training.
Chubb’s commitment to his recovery was evident when he agreed to reduce his base salary to secure his spot on the team. He has the opportunity to earn back the remainder of his salary through incentives, but his ability to handle the demands placed on his knee will play a vital role in determining his success. As Chubb faces the challenges of returning from injury, the Browns are hopeful that his dedication and determination will lead to a successful comeback in the upcoming season.
In summary, Browns General Manager Andrew Berry provided updates on two key offensive players recovering from injuries: quarterback Deshaun Watson and running back Nick Chubb. While Watson is expected to be ready for the start of the season following his right shoulder injury, Berry was more cautious when discussing Chubb’s return due to an ongoing knee injury sustained last season that required multiple surgeries. Despite this challenge, Chubb has been diligent in his rehabilitation process and recently began running on land, marking a significant milestone in his recovery journey towards returning for the upcoming season.
