The Browns' leading rusher, Jerome Ford, injured his hamstring in the game against the Eagles

PHILADELPHIA – Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford was ruled out of Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles with a hamstring injury.

Ford suffered the injury on the Browns' second possession of the game. He spent time in the medical tent before heading to the locker room. The Browns originally said Ford's return was questionable before ruling him out for the remainder of the game.

Ford entered Sunday's game as Cleveland's leading rusher, totaling 250 yards on 48 carries. He had two runs for 14 yards before suffering his injury.

Ford's injury comes as the Browns are expected to bring back four-time Pro Bowl running back Nick Chubb from injury in Week 7. Chubb is expected to make his season debut next Sunday in Cleveland against the Cincinnati Bengals, a source told ESPN, completing his season return from a serious left knee injury that required two surgeries last year.

Chubb suffered the season-ending knee injury on Monday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2 of the 2023 season. In late September, he underwent initial surgery to repair his medial capsule, meniscus and MCL. A second operation repaired the damage to his cruciate ligament in November.
