KAREEM HUNT NEWS

Not likely to play in Week 16 Head coach Kevin Stefanski said he doesn't expect Hunt (ankle, reserve/COVID-19 list) to be available for Saturday's game against the Packers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain...

Impact The running back currently remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but even if he clears the necessary protocols and is activated this week, his ankle issue is still enough of a concern that he's trending toward missing a second straight game. If Hunt remains sidelined, Nick Chubb would once again lead the Cleveland backfield Week 16, with D'Ernest Johnson and Demetric Felton on hand to work in complementary roles.

Still on COVID list Hunt (ankle) wasn't activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list in advance of Monday's game against the Raiders, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.

Impact Prior to landing on the list, Hunt had been ruled out for the game (originally scheduled for Saturday) due to an ankle issue. However, despite the added time afforded by the game being moved to Monday, the running back remains unavailable and will look to gain clearance to play in the Browns' Dec. 25 matchup versus the Packers. In his absence Monday, Nick Chubb is slated to head the team's backfield, with D'Ernest Johnson a candidate to mix in, with Demetric Felton and John Kelly available in reserve.

Browns Anthony Walker off of Covid list, Kareem Hunt added as team announces game being moved to Monday Browns have a list of transactions from Friday, but only get one player back from Covid list.

Placed on COVID list Hunt has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Impact Prior to this move, Hunt had been ruled out for Saturday's scheduled game against the Raiders due to an ankle injury, but now he's on the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of the Browns' Week 15 contest, which has been rescheduled to Monday at 5 pm ET. The running back will thus presumably target a potential return to action as soon as Cleveland's Dec. 25 contest against the Packers, though Hunt has some hurdles to clear for that to be possible.

Won't play Saturday Hunt (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Raiders, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Impact Given that Hunt is out this week, Nick Chubb is slated to head the Browns' backfield Saturday, with D'Ernest Johnson a candidate to mix in and Demetric Felton on hand in reserve. That is, however, assuming they remain off the team's lengthy reserve/COVID-19 list.

Listed as DNP on practice estimate Hunt (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Impact Per Zac Jackson of The Athletic, coach Kevin Stefanski noted earlier this week that Hunt was "unlikely" to play Saturday against the Raiders. That narrative hasn't changed and in the meantime the Browns have added multiple players to the reserve/COVID-19 list. Assuming their Week 15 availability, Nick Chubb and D'Ernest Johnson appear poised to be the Browns' top backfield options this weekend.

Impact As expected, Hunt will stay away from the field after he sustained an ankle injury this past Sunday versus the Ravens. He's likely slated to miss at least one game as a result of the issue, meaning Nick Chubb and D'Ernest Johnson are poised to be the Browns' main RB options Saturday against the Raiders.
