Report: Browns hopeful Chubb will return for Week 10

The Cleveland Browns expect running back Nick Chubb to return to practice this upcoming week and are hopeful he will be eligible for next Sunday's game against the Houston Texans, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Chubb missed more than a month after suffering an MCL sprain at the start of October.

The veteran was the NFL's second-leading rusher with 335 yards through four weeks.

Kareem Hunt and sophomore D'Ernest Johnson carried the backfield workload in Chubb's absence. Hunt's tied for fifth in rushing yards with 529.
