The Cleveland Browns offense is temporarily broken. Injuries have decimated the offensive line with the latest being Wyatt Teller who is the latest to hit IR for the Browns. Jack Conklin and Jedrick Wills are fighting through injuries. David Njoku is also missed. The running game has been underwhelming. Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong Jr. are banged up. Nyheim Hines is still on PUP.
#Browns players not expected to practice today:

T Jack Conklin (hamstring)
RB Jerome Ford (knee)
DE Myles Garret (foot, Achilles, thigh)
LB Jordan Hicks (ribs, elbow)
TE David Njoku (ankle)
RB Pierre Strong Jr. (hamstring)
T Jedrick Wills (knee)
#Browns placing RG Wyatt Teller (sprained knee) on IR. He'll miss at least 4 games. Stefanski won't rule out Myles Garrett (Achilles, thigh, feet).

Browns fans are feeling down, but one thing could lift their spirits and potentially give this offense the jump start it desperately needs. His name is Nick Chubb. He can come off PUP in Week 5 so the team could be without him just one more game.

On Wednesday, Coach Kevin Stefanski was asked if Nick Chubb could be ready for Week 5. In typical Stefanski style, he did not give a direct answer. However, his response was encouraging. He said: "We'll see when we get to next week. He's doing well."
Without a healthy and solid offensive line, some argue a healthy Nick Chubb could struggle on this Browns team. Fans hope that he can come back next week and give this offense a necessary jolt of energy and productivity.
