Browns' Pierre Strong: Primary backup in Week 1
Strong had two carries for 10 yards and caught two of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 33-17 loss to Dallas in Week 1.
Strong, who played 18 snaps on offense, was the primary backup to Jerome Ford (57) while D'Onta Foreman was limited to just one snap. The distribution of backfield snaps was likely the result of the Browns falling behind early, as the Cowboys were ahead by three scores at halftime. Passing situations play to Strong's strengths more than Foreman's, but neither player is a serious threat to Ford's lead role while Nick Chubb (knee) remains out.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Practicing without limitations
Strong (ribs) wasn't listed on Cleveland's injury report Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Strong practiced fully heading into Sunday's season opener against the Cowboys. He's likely to play a rotational role alongside D'Onta Foreman in a Browns backfield that will be led by Jerome Ford in the absence of Nick Chubb (knee), who will miss at least the first four games after opening the season on the PUP list. The speedy Strong is also listed as the top kickoff returner on the Browns' unofficial depth chart.

Browns' Pierre Strong: One of two RBs on roster
Strong (ribs) was one of two running backs on Cleveland's initial 53-man roster that was released Tuesday, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.
Strong's presence on the roster is an indication that his recent rib injury isn't serious, but the Browns are still expected to add a third running back before Week 1, with the most likely option being a re-signing of D'Onta Foreman. For now, Strong and presumed Week 1 starter Jerome Ford are the only backs on the 53-man roster, as Foreman was released Tuesday while Nick Chubb (knee) and Nyheim Hines (knee) were placed on injury lists. Chubb and Hines are ineligible for the first four games of the season.

Browns' Pierre Strong: In line to resume practicing
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Strong (ribs) will return to practice this week, Patrick Warren of the Browns' official site reports.
Strong departed Wednesday's practice in an ambulance and was transported to a local hospital, where he was diagnosed with a rib contusion. He has two weeks remaining to resume practicing in full before Cleveland's regular-season opener against the Cowboys on Sept. 8.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Released from hospital
Strong was released from the hospital Wednesday after being diagnosed with a rib contusion, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Strong left Wednesday's practice in an ambulance as a precaution after experiencing shortness of breath as a result of the injury, according to a statement provided by the Browns. Strong, who could open the season as the No. 2 running back behind Jerome ford, looks to have avoided a serious injury, but he could still be held out of Saturday's preseason finale against the Seahawks.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Leaves practice in ambulance
Strong left Wednesday's practice in an ambulance after suffering a rib injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
According to Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram, Strong was able to head into the team facilities with a trainer by his side, and he now looks set to go the hospital for further evaluation. With Nick Chubb (knee) still sidelined, Strong appears in good position to begin the regular season as the No. 2 running back behind Jerome Ford, but he may now be dealing with a serious injury.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Cameo in preseason loss
Strong carried the ball three times for two yards and caught one of two targets for three yards in Saturday's 27-12 preseason loss to the Vikings.
With Cleveland sitting out all its starters and key reserves, Strong got the start in the backfield but left the game after only two drives, with D'Onta Foreman getting an extended look after that. The usage bodes well for Strong's chances of securing the No. 2 spot on the running back depth chart behind Jerome Ford to begin the season, but it would be only a temporary assignment until Nick Chubb (knee) is ready for game action.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Biggest backfield workload Saturday
Strong carried the ball six times for 15 yards and caught two of three targets for 10 yards in Saturday's 23-10 preseason loss to the Packers. He also returned one kickoff for 27 yards.
The 2022 fourth-round pick was the second Cleveland running back into the game after Jerome Ford, and Strong wound up leading the team in carries, although no Browns RB had much success on the ground. Strong also figures to begin the regular season in the No. 2 spot on the depth chart, but his role and workload depend entirely on how quickly Nick Chubb (knee) completes his recovery and reclaims his starting job.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Taking part in OTAs
Strong (back) was spotted participating in Wednesday's practice, Joshua Gunter of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Strong was inactive for Browns' wild-card loss to the Texans in January, but the back issue that prevented him from playing in the postseason looks to be well behind him at this point. After Cleveland added D'Onta Foreman and Nyheim Hines this offseason to a backfield that already includes Nick Chubb (knee) and Jerome Ford, Strong may be on the roster bubble heading into the 2024 season.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Gets 63 carries in 2023
Strong (back) had 63 carries for 291 yards and one touchdown to go with five catches for 47 yards on eight targets while appearing in all 17 regular-season games.
Strong spent his rookie season with the Patriots in 2022 but was traded to the Browns in August. Nick Chubb's season-ending knee injury opened up an opportunity, but the Browns promoted Jerome Ford to the top of the depth chart and re-signed Kareem Hunt, leaving Strong in a little-used third-string role. Chubb is expected to be recovered by the start of the 2024 season, and Ford remains on hand as well, so Strong's usage isn't projected to increase moving forward. On a positive note, the back injury that kept Strong from playing in the team's wild-card round loss to Houston last weekend isn't expected to affect his availability moving forward.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Missing wild-card round
Strong (back) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Texans.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Questionable versus Houston
Strong (back) is listed as questionable for Cleveland's wild-card matchup against Houston on Saturday, Mary Kay Cabot of Celveland.com reports.
Strong suffered a back injury during the team's season finale, which has cast doubt on his availability for Saturday's playoff game. If the 2022 fourth-round pick ends up being unable to play, James Proche should handle Cleveland's kick-return duties.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Manages limited practice Wednesday
Strong (back) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Strong was unable to practice Tuesday, so his presence at Wednesday's session represents a step in the right direction. Even still, he'll probably need to practice in full Thursday to avoid carrying an injury designation into Friday and possibly Saturday.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Spectator at practice Tuesday
Strong (back) isn't participating in Tuesday's practice, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Strong was missing from the Browns' first practice of the week just two days after seeing his largest workload of the season in Cleveland's 31-14 loss to Cincinnati. Since the Browns were already locked in as the AFC's No. 5 seed in the playoffs, the coaching staff held out or limited several key players in the regular-season finale, including Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt (groin). That resulted in Strong taking on his biggest workload of the season. The former Patriot played 27 snaps on offense and carried the ball 14 times for 65 yards before he left the game in the second half due to a back injury, which now threatens his availability for Saturday's wild-card game in Houston.
