Browns Sign Nyheim Hines to Strengthen Backfield Amid Chubb's Recovery

The one-year deal with former Bills running back Nyheim Hines aims to bolster the Cleveland Browns' depth as Nick Chubb works towards a return from knee surgery.

• The Cleveland Browns have signed former Buffalo Bills running back Nyheim Hines to a one-year deal worth up to $3.5 million.
• Hines, who missed the entire 2023 season due to a torn ACL from a boating accident, is expected to add depth to the Browns' backfield.
• Nick Chubb, the Browns' four-time Pro Bowler, is anticipated to return at some point next season after undergoing two surgeries for a severe knee injury.
• The signing of Hines is seen as a positive indication of Chubb's eventual return as the team's primary running back.
• Jerome Ford stepped in as the lead back in Chubb's absence last season, rushing for 813 yards and four touchdowns.
