Week 10 status TBD Coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that he does not have any updates on the status of Felton (illness) for Week 10, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Impact Stefanski said the same of Nick Chubb (illness), as both he and Felton tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday. As a result, both running backs now reside on the reserve/COVID-19 list and will need to log two negative test results at least 24 hours apart before being cleared to return to action. Kareem Hunt (calf) has already been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Patriots, so D'Ernest Johnson could once again be poised for a valuable role as the lead in Cleveland's backfield.

Placed on COVID-19 list Felton (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.

Impact As expected, Felton lands on the COVID-19 list after testing positive for the virus Tuesday. In addition to Felton, Nick Chubb and John Kelly both also tested positive for the virus, leaving D'Ernest Johnson as the only remaining running back on the Browns' active roster who isn't in the NFL's COVID-19 protocols. Both Felton and Chubb are fully vaccinated, so they haven't been ruled out for Cleveland's Week 10 matchup with the Patriots yet, but they will need to submit two negative test results at least 24 hours apart if they are going to be active.

Positive for COVID-19 Felton tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, putting his status in question for Sunday's game at New England, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact In addition to Felton, Nick Chubb tested positive for the virus Tuesday as well, meaning that three running backs on the 53-man roster have now contracted COVID-19 after depth option John Kelly was revealed to have tested positive Monday. At this stage, D'Ernest Johnson remains the only back on the roster who isn't following the NFL's COVID-19 protocols. Because Felton and Chubb are vaccinated, both will be eligible to rejoin the Browns as soon as they submit two negative test results at least 24 hours apart. Even if Felton clears all protocols prior to Sunday and Chubb remains out, Johnson would likely serve as the clear lead back Week 10, with Felton filling more of a change-of-pace role in that scenario.

Catches lone target in win Felton caught his lone target for 22 yards and had 15 return yards on two punts and one kickoff in Sunday's 41-16 win over the Bengals.

Impact Felton has caught at least one pass in seven of nine contests this season and continues to get steady work as a returner. He'd been limited to punt-return duty only over the last several games, but Felton replaced fellow rookie Anthony Schwartz, who had recently been handling kick returns.

NOVEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Reduced snaps with Chubb return Felton had one carry for three yards and caught his lone target for 14 yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to Pittsburgh. He added one yard on two punt returns.

Impact The return of Nick Chubb moved Felton down a notch on the depth chart, which showed in the hybrid back's snap count. He went from a season-high 21 offensive snaps in Week 7 to nine against the Steelers. With Kareem Hunt (calf) expected to be out longer than the three-week minimum, Felton should remain on the fringes of relevancy the next two games, at Cincinnati in Week 9 and at New England in Week 10.

NOVEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Gets first carries Felton had two carries for 13 yards, caught all three of his targets and gained 21 yards, and returned two punts for 13 yards in Thursday's 17-14 victory over Denver.

Impact As expected, with both Nick Chubb (calf) and Kareem Hunt (calf) unavailable, Felton was used on offense more than any previous game. The rookie back played a season-high 22 snaps and picked up the first rushing attempts of his career. Meanwhile, D'Ernest Johnson served as the lead back and will remain ahead of Felton on the depth chart leading into Week 8 against the Steelers. By then, Chubb may be ready to play, which would push Felton down to third in the pecking order.

Could make impact Thursday Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said Felton will be part of a three-man backfield Thursday against the Broncos, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.

Impact With both Nick Chubb (calf) and Kareem Hunt (calf, IR) unavailable for Thursday's home meeting with Denver, Felton joins presumptive lead back D'Ernest Johnson and John Kelly, who was signed off the team's practice squad Tuesday. Stefanski isn't getting into specifics about expected roles or usage for the trio, merely saying the situation is "fluid." Felton has been used mainly has a receiver and returner during his rookie season, but he could get the first carries of his career. Starting quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) will not play, while receivers Odell Beckham (shoulder) and Jarvis Landry (knee) are uncertain participants, so there may be a heavy reliance on the running backs.

Season-high snap count Felton caught two of two targets for 14 yards and returned two punts for 29 yards in Sunday's 37-14 loss to Arizona.

Impact Felton played a season-high 12 snaps on offense and moved up the depth chart when Kareem Hunt left the game with a calf injury. Hunt's removal, along with an inactive Nick Chubb (calf), had the Browns finishing the game with D'Ernest Johnson and Felton as the top backs. Cleveland has a quick turnaround this week, so the Felton/Johnson combination could be important when the Browns host the Broncos on Thursday Night Football.

Two catches in Sunday's loss Felton caught both his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact The rookie has caught exactly two passes in four of the last five games, although he still has yet to get his first NFL carry. However, with Nick Chubb inactive Sunday due to a calf injury and Kareem Hunt -- who was already dealing with wrist and knee issues -- also leaving the game early with a calf strain, Felton could be poised for a much bigger workload in Week 7 against the Broncos.

OCTOBER 17, 2021 • FANDUEL.COM

Likely to have role behind Hunt Felton is expected to get some touches behind lead back Kareem Hunt (wrist/knee) in Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact With Nick Chubb (calf) sitting out Week 6, Hunt -- who is listed as questionable but expected to play -- will elevate into the clear No. 1 role out of the backfield for the first time all season. Between them, Chubb and Hunt have dominated the touches out of the backfield, accounting for 33.4 per contest through the first five weeks. Per Pelissero, head coach Kevin Stefanski acknowledged that he'll be careful not to run Hunt into the ground, so he should be expected to absorb only a portion of Chubb's vacated workload. As such, Felton and fellow backup running back D'Ernest Johnson should both have roles in the Week 6 game plans, after the two were largely non-factors through the first five contests. Expect Johnson to operate as the top alternative on the ground, while Felton -- who has yet to log an NFL carry -- should fill more of a third-down or change-of-pace role. Felton has been targeted seven times across 22 offensive snaps this season, recording six receptions for 76 yards and a touchdown.

OCTOBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Low impact in loss Felton played just three snaps on offense and returned two punts for 17 yards in Sunday's 47-42 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Felton did not have a catch or target for the first time since Week 1. The rookie had multiple targets and catches the three games prior to Sunday, but he was barely on the field in a game that seemed like it should have been well-suited to his dynamic offensive skillset. Felton also did not return any kickoffs; that chore went to fellow rookie Anthony Schwartz, who returned five kickoffs for 109 yards.
