Los Cleveland Browns They are following the running back market after losing the starter Nick Chubb due to a knee injury suffered in the past Monday Night Football, in the loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Cam Akersof the Los Angeles Rams, and Kareem Hunt, currently without a club, are the names that are on the list, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com.

According to information from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Hunt met with the Browns this Tuesday, in a possible return to the franchise, where he played between 2019 and 2022.

Kevin Stefanski, coach of the Brownsadmitted that “the organization intends to move and look for another option,” after the injury suffered by Chubb.

Akers is not taken into account in Rams

The Browns could also be the new destination for Akers. The Rams running back seems to have his days numbered in the California franchise, after a disappointing production in Week 1 and was not even called up for the Week 2 duel. Sean McVayhead coach of Los Angeles, stated that the team is looking for a trade for the player.

Until reinforcements arrive for the backfield, Stefanski defined that Jerome Ford He will be the protagonist of the running game. The player showed himself well in the last Monday Night Football and accumulated 106 yards on 16 carries, in addition to three receptions for 25 yards and a touchdown.
