NFL insider Ian Rapoport is reporting that Brown's RB Nick Chubb will miss 'roughly six weeks' with an MCL sprain. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

The six-week timetable includes a bye week, so fantasy managers should look at that as a positive. @Rapsheet notes that Chubb could return sometime in November. In his absence, Kareem Hunt is a plug and play RB1 in all formats. Hunt's backup D'Ernest Johnson will also be a hot name on the waiver wire this week. Johnson racked up 95 yards on 13 carries after Chubb left Sunday's game versus the Cowboys.
