Browns RB Chubb to miss second game with injury

-

The NFL’S top rushing team has run into major trouble.

Browns star back Nick Chubb will miss his second straight game with a calf injury, leaving Cleveland without its two best backs Thursday night against the Denver Broncos.

Chubb was ruled out Tuesday by coach Kevin Stefanski before practice. He also didn’t play against Arizona on Sunday, when running back Kareem

Hunt suffered a calf injury that could sideline him for more than a month.

Hunt was placed on injured reserve — meaning he will miss at least three games — along with rookie linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-koramoah.

■ Bears: Linebacker Robert Quinn was placed on the reserve/covid-19 list Tuesday.

Also, Chicago placed defensive back Deon Bush on injured reserve with a quad injury.

■ Colts: Indianapol­is waived quarterbac­k Jacob Eason after activating rookie Sam Ehlinger from injured reserve.

The team also placed receiver Parris Campbell on injured reserve

■ Giants: Starting left tackle Andrew Thomas (foot) was placed on injured reserve along with wide receiver/kickoff returner C.J. Board (broken arm) on Tuesday.

■ Cowboys: Safety Damontae Kazee was arrested early Tuesday on suspicion of driving while intoxicate­d in a Dallas suburb, police said.

The Colony police Sgt. Aaron Woodard said Kazee was booked on a Class B misdemeano­r. Kazee was released around midday after posting $2,500 bond, Woodard said.

■ Jaguars: Jacksonvil­le cut veteran kicker Josh Lambo on Tuesday, two days after unheralded Matt Wright hit two field goals from beyond 50 yards in the final minutes to beat Miami and end the NFL’S longest losing streak in 44 years.

Lambo, the league’s most accurate kicker between 2017 and 2020, was inactive the last three games while dealing with confidence issues.

■ Ravens: Baltimore put tackle Ronnie Stanley on injured reserve Tuesday.

Stanley spent the latter half of last season on IR as well because of an ankle injury, and he’s played only in the season opener this year.
