Running back Nick Chubb has been absent from practice due to rehab on his leg over the past two days and has not been given an injury designation. This means that it would be good for him to go on Christmas Eve, aiming to bring good tidings of comfort and joy throughout the city of Cleveland.
Another star who missed practice this week due to illness, Myles Garrett, is not listed as injured and should be fine. The Browns will get the best players on both sides of football in this Week 16 matchup.

Safety John Johnson III also missed practice this week after suffering a thigh injury when he was forced to fumble after leaving the Ravens. He has a questionable designation for this weekend’s game against the Saints.
Expect Ronnie Harrison to step in to the Browns’ third-level defense if Johnson III is unavailable. Harrison has been struggling this season, so if Johnson III does well, the Browns will be in much better shape.

Defensive end Jadevion Clowney was sidelined with a concussion in the first half of the game against the Ravens. He sat all week while Clowney worked on his concussion protocol, so it’s no surprise that Clowney was ruled out for this game against the Saints.
A week ago, Alex Wright and Chase Winovich were replaced on possession after Clowney went down. After another healthy scratch last week, expect Isaiah Thomas to do well in this game.
