Chubb isn't listed as the starting running back in advance of Cleveland's Week 7 matchup against Tampa Bay, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Though Chubb has impressed with a 10.8 YPC through the first six games of the season, it's worth noting that he has yet to exceed three carries in a contest this year and has been targeted just once in the passing game. Time is running out for the Browns to ease the rookie into action, as previous starter Carlos Hyde was traded to Jacksonville over the weekend, putting Chubb in line for a significantly expanded role. While Duke Johnson will get the nod as the starter and go-to option on passing downs in Week 7, it's still expected that Chubb will be in store for a steady uptick in work now that Hyde is out of the mix, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. The Buccaneers have struggled to keep the opposition off the board this season, but they've been generally sound against the run -- limiting opposing backs to just 3.8 yards per carry, good for the fifth-best mark in the league.
