Browns’ Chubb out vs. undefeated Cards

-

Star running back Nick Chubb will miss the Browns’ game Sunday against the undefeated Cardinals.

Chubb, who is second in the NFL with 523 yards rushing, did not practice all week because of a calf injury and was ruled out by coach Kevin Stefanski after the team’s workout Friday.

“No one person can replace Nick Chubb,” Stefanski said. “Other guys are going to have to step up.”

Chubb, who signed a three-year contract extension in August, ran for 161 yards last week in a 47-42 road loss to the Chargers. The two-time Pro Bowl selection has scored four touchdowns as part of Cleveland’s league-leading rushing attack with Kareem Hunt.
