Browns Running Back Ruled Out with Hamstring Injury

In a challenging turn of events, Browns running back Jerome Ford has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Eagles due to a hamstring injury sustained during the first half of the match. Ford was seen spending time in the blue medical tent on the sidelines before ultimately walking to the locker room accompanied by the training staff.

Prior to his exit, Ford had managed two carries, gaining a total of 14 yards, with his longest run stretching to 11 yards. His absence puts extra pressure on the remaining running backs, D’Onta Foreman and Pierre Strong Jr., as they step up to fill the void left by Ford’s injury.

Looking ahead, the Browns are anticipated to activate their star running back Nick Chubb for the upcoming game against the Bengals. This could bolster their running game significantly, as Chubb is known for his explosive plays and ability to change the dynamics on the field.

The situation worsened for the Browns as they also lost center Nick Harris earlier in the same game. Harris was carted off the field due to an ankle injury, adding to the team’s challenges as they navigate through injuries this season.

As the Browns regroup, the performances of Foreman and Strong will be closely monitored, especially with the upcoming games being crucial for their season. The resilience of the team will be tested as they prepare to overcome these setbacks.
