Nick Chubb ‘Heartbeat And Pulse Of Our Team’ – Berry
It was important for the Cleveland Browns to keep Nick Chubb around the organization, according to general manager Andrew Berry.
Running back Nick Chubb is still working his way back to fitness after getting injured in Week 2 last season. His knee issue is such that the Browns adjusted his contract to be more incentive-based.
Andrew Berry also says quarterback DeShaun Watson is recovering from his shoulder injury ahead of schedule.

“When we look at any member of our organization, it’s important for us not to lose sight of the fact that we’re dealing with people,” Berry said.
“What happened to Nick last year was very unfortunate. He had no desire to be anywhere beside Cleveland. We had no desire for that to be the last snap he would take in a Cleveland Browns jersey. Quite honestly, he’s the heartbeat and pulse of our team. He is a selfless individual. He works hard. He’s an outstanding ball-carrier, an outstanding running back.
“I said this at my end-of-season press conference, coming into the year I had a respect level for Nick Chubb, it was a 10 out of 10. Exiting the season it was probably a 20 out of 10 because this was a person who came in every day, 5:30, doing his rehab, working as if he was preparing for Sunday.”

“I think that says something about him individually and as a professional. One of the moments that we’re all most looking forward to is the first time he runs out of that home tunnel for his debut of the 2024 season. So we’re really excited to have him back and can’t wait to get going with him.”
