Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb only played in two games during the 2023 season, as he suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Chubb is expected to return in the 2024 season after he underwent surgeries to repair his ACL, MCL and meniscus, and Cleveland has him under contract for one more season at a salary of $11,775,000 with a cap figure of $15,825,000.

However, Browns general manager Andrew Berry told reporters on Monday that the team may seek to revise Chubb’s contract before the season.

“Nobody wants to see that carry in Pittsburgh be the last time he carries the ball for the Cleveland Browns,” Berry said, via 92.3 The Fan. “We will, obviously, work to keep him on the team.”

The carry Berry referenced is the one Chubb was injured on when he was hit hard by Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick on Sept. 18. It was a bad scene, as the ESPN broadcast didn’t even show a replay of the injury. Fitzpatrick sent his sympathies to Chubb afterward.
