General manager Andrew Berry said Tuesday that Chubb (knee) is expected to resume load running soon, and that the next three months will determine his availability for the start of the 2024 season, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Chubb is expected to begin load running "this month" per Berry. Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports that the general manager also said Chubb has done a fantastic job in his rehab thus far, and reiterated that the running back is expected to be with the Browns for the 2024 season, despite the fact that he carries a $15.83 million cap hit entering the final year of his contract and is coming off a brutal left knee injury. Cleveland inked D'Onta Foreman in free agency, adding another depth piece to the backfield alongside Jerome Ford. Chubb's chances of being ready for Week 1 will hinge on his recovery progress this offseason, but the expectation remains that he'll operate as the Browns' starter once fully recovered from surgeries to repair the ACL, MCL and meniscus of his left knee. It wouldn't be surprising to see Ford and Foreman begin the 2024 campaign with larger workloads, and for Chubb's involvement to grow as the season progresses.

Nick Chubb : Almost ready to resume load running
General manager Andrew Berry said Tuesday that Chubb (knee) is expected to resume load running soon, and that the next three months will determine his availability for the start of the 2024 season, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Chubb is expected to begin load running "this month" per Berry. Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports that the general manager also said Chubb has done a fantastic job in his rehab thus far, and reiterated that the running back is expected to be with the Browns for the 2024 season, despite the fact that he carries a $15.83 million cap hit entering the final year of his contract and is coming off a brutal left knee injury. Cleveland inked D'Onta Foreman in free agency, adding another depth piece to the backfield alongside Jerome Ford.

It wouldn't be surprising to see Ford and Foreman begin the 2024 campaign with larger workloads, and for Chubb's involvement to grow as the season progresses.
Cade York : Signs with Cleveland
The Browns signed York on Saturday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. York spent last season on the practice squads of the Titans and Giants after the Browns cut him following training camp last summer. A 2022 fourth-round pick by Cleveland, York made just 24 of 32 field-goal attempts (75 percent) as a rookie before losing his job after one season. York joins Dustin Hopkins and Lucas Havrisik at kicker for Cleveland.
D'Onta Foreman : Inks deal with Cleveland
The Browns and Foreman agreed to a contract Wednesday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports. After an injury-riddled start to his career, Foreman has carved at a role in three different backfields over the last three campaigns, averaging 54.4 rushing yards per game and racking up 12 touchdowns on the ground in 35 appearances between the Titans, Panthers and Bears. With his new team, he could get in the act early on if Nick Chubb's recovery from a serious knee injury delays his 2024 season debut, but Jerome Ford likely still would be the team's top back in that scenario.
James Proche : Re-signs with Cleveland
The Browns have re-signed Proche. While Proche didn't catch any of his five targets in 10 games with Cleveland during the 2023 regular season, the 2020 sixth-rounder did contribute on special teams by returning 22 punts for 197 yards as well as one kickoff for 19 yards. Now that he's back in the fold, Proche will have a chance to retain his depth WR/special teams role with the Browns in 2024.
Jerry Jeudy : Lands three-year extension
The Browns and Jeudy agreed to a three-year extension Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Prior to free agency opening last week, Cleveland acquired Jeudy from Denver for a pair of Day 3 picks in the 2024 Draft. The two sides then restructured his contract for the upcoming season, creating about $10 million in cap space. With this new deal, which includes $41 million in guaranteed money and up to $58 million overall, Jeudy is locked in through the 2027 campaign. Through four years as a pro, he's averaged 14.5 YPC and 8.6 YPT, amounting to 211 catches, 3.053 yards and 11 touchdowns in 57 games. Jeudy is slotted in as the No. 2 WR on the Browns behind Amari Cooper.
Deshaun Watson : Could begin throwing Tuesday
Watson (shoulder) could begin light throwing as soon as Tuesday, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Watson will have limitations this spring after underdoing surgery Nov. 21 to repair a displaced fracture in his right shoulder socket, but the Browns expect him to be ready for training camp in late July. He's been rehabbing in Los Angeles, with private QBs coach Quincy Avery and Browns TE David Njoku flying out Monday to join him. While a fully guaranteed contract ensures Watson will get another chance as the starting QB after two disappointing seasons in Cleveland, the team has much better depth at his position for 2024 after signing Jameis Winston and Tyler Huntley earlier in March.
Tyler Huntley : Lands with Cleveland
Huntley agreed to a contract with the Browns on Sunday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Huntley will stick in the AFC North after serving as one of the primary backup quarterbacks behind Lamar Jackson in Baltimore over the past four seasons. The 26-year-old is set to join Cleveland on a veteran minimum deal, according to Tom Withers of the Associated Press. With four accrued seasons under Huntley's belt, this veteran minimum deal should carry a base value of one-year, $1.13 million. He'll likely compete with Jameis Winston and Dorian Thompson-Robinson (hip) for the primary backup role behind starting quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder).
Rodney McLeod : Inks new deal with Cleveland
The Browns re-signed McLeod (biceps) on a one-year deal Saturday, per The Cleveland Plain Dealer. The veteran safety is back with Cleveland after spending his 2023 campaign with the Browns. McLeod appeared in just 10 games (five starts) last season due to a biceps injury, but he was fairly productive when on the field, logging 29 total tackles and defending one pass. The 33-year-old also contributed on special teams with 108 special teams snaps in 2023, and he's expected to compete for a similar role this offseason.
