"Browns' Kareem Hunt steps up as Nick Chubb's injury leaves void in running back position"

The Cleveland Browns have signed Kareem Hunt to help fill the void left by the season-ending knee injury to Nick Chubb. Hunt, who played alongside Chubb for four seasons, signed a one-year deal worth up to $4 million. While second-year running back Jerome Ford is expected to be the team's lead back, Hunt's familiarity with the Browns' offense made him an attractive option. Chubb's injury will require surgery, and Browns coach Kevin Stefanski emphasized that Chubb cannot be replaced, but rather the team will rely on a collective effort to compensate for his absence.
