The Browns have signed running back Kareem Hunt to help replace Nick Chubb.
Hunt, who played with the Browns from 2019-22, will serve as a complement to 2022 fifth-round pick Jerome Ford, who stepped in for Chubb on Monday night and comported himself well, rushing 16 times for 106 yards, and catching a 3 yard TD pass the play after Chubb went down.
After the Browns failed to make Hunt a free agent offer after the season, he visited several other teams, including the Saints, Colts and Vikings -- but remained on the street after the first two weeks of the season. As for the Browns, they felt it was time after last season to turn the backup duties over to Ford, who brings excellent speed, vision and good hands.
“Well, we’re working on ,” coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday. “Andrew and the personnel department are working through options. You don’t, as you know, you don’t replace Nick Chubb. You just don’t do that. Great players in the league, you look around, they go out. It’s always not one person that replaces a player of his caliber. So everybody’s got to do a little bit more, a little bit more everywhere. But we’ll look at options there in terms of who we bring in.
