BEREA, Ohio – The Cleveland Browns got some good news Saturday with cornerback Kevin Johnson who was released from the hospital and runs Nick Chubb back to practice.
Johnson suffered a laceration to his liver at Wednesday’s practice and will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis to determine when he can rejoin the Browns on the field.
He was injured when rookie tight end Harrison Bryant landed on him during a red zone drill, after Johnson deviled to break a pass.
“[We] would prefer that he instead keep out of a lot of caution and not therefore dive. But they were both pigeons, and Harrison came on top of him, “coach Kevin Stefanski said this week. Really sorry, sorry. “
Johnson, who signed an off-season deal with the Browns this offseason, was expected to bring the team’s starting nickelback into training camp.
Chubb has been on a hearing record since Monday, when he was hit with a horse button during practice.
Chubb rushed last year for 1,494 yards and eight touchdowns, coming 47 yards away from Derrick Henry of the Tennessee Titans for the rushing title.
