Cleveland Browns' Jerome Ford Sidelined 1-2 Weeks Due to Ankle Injury

Ford filled in for injured Nick Chubb, leading the Browns with 344 rushing yards; his absence places pressure on Kareem Hunt and Pierre Strong Jr. as Cleveland faces Seattle Seahawks next.

  • Jerome Ford, the Cleveland Browns' leading rusher, is expected to miss one to two weeks due to a high right ankle sprain he suffered during the Browns' recent victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
  • Ford had been the Browns' main running back since Nick Chubb's season-ending knee injury, and his absence puts additional pressure on Kareem Hunt and Pierre Strong Jr.
  • So far this season, Ford has produced 344 rushing yards and four total touchdowns from six games, stepping up from his previous role as a kick returner during his rookie year.
  • In light of Ford's injury, the Browns may need to explore external options ahead of next week’s trade deadline and reshuffle their special teams rotations.
  • The Browns will face the Seattle Seahawks next, aiming for their third straight win despite their challenges in the running back position.
