Sources: Cleveland Browns RBs Nick Chubb, Demetric Felton test positive for COVID-19

[Auggie]

Cleveland Browns running backs Nick Chubb and Demetric Felton tested positive for COVID-19, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Both players are vaccinated, so their status for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots remains in question. Each player would need two negative tests 24 hours apart to play.

With Kareem Hunt (calf) currently on injured reserve, Cleveland is down to just one running back at the moment -- D'Ernest Johnson, who also is vaccinated, a source told ESPN.

Chubb, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, rushed for 137 yards and two touchdowns in the Browns' 41-16 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday and leads the team with 721 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns this season.

Huge blow for team that can't afford a loss. The play the Patriots in New England Sunday.

1. Chubb was a pick that came about from Osweiller's salary dump

That has turned into a great decision for the Browns. Michel the RB at Georgia with him was picked before him, and I bet the Patriots kick themselves daily on that miss.

I love watching him run.

2. Chubb is rock solid. He and Michel were a great duo at Georgia

I remember Michel have a couple of big games at the end of their time in Athens.

Thanks for the background on Osweiler.
