The Cleveland Browns are already down a running back as Nick Chubb is on injured reserve. Now, the team has lost their second starter, as Jerome Ford headed to the locker room with an apparent ankle injury.

During the telecast of the game between the Browns and Miami Dolphins, it was announced that Ford is questionable to return to the game with an ankle injury. This is a huge loss for Cleveland.

Following a tackle, Ford was seen on the ground in considerable pain. Following the hit, he walked off to the sideline and was shown heading to the locker room moments later.

The star running back has been fantastic in the past two games, as Ford secured a total of 176 yards on the ground, along with two touchdowns. He also added 59 receiving yards in that time as well.

At the time of this writing, Ford compiled 22 yards on six carries. Now, he will presumably get some tests done in the locker room to determine if he can return to the game. The way that he was writhing on the ground, his return might not happen.

The Browns have nothing to play for on Sunday, other than playing playoff ruiner for the Dolphins. Miami got a ton of help over the weekend to keep them in the playoff conversation.

The Indianapolis Colts lost to the New York Giants, leading to them being knocked out of the playoffs. The Dolphins only need to beat the Browns on Sunday along with beating the New York Jets to place themselves in a playoff position.

Granted, this will only be possible if the Denver Broncos lose in Week 18 to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs are more than likely to sit their starters now that they have locked in the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

Considering the Dolphins are playing for their playoff future, the Browns can only ruin that for them by winning on Sunday. So far, the score is tied at 3-3, at the time of this writing.

The Browns are at a loss with Ford now out of the game. They do have D’Onta Foreman as the backup, who is now going to be RB1 for the remainder of the game, assuming Ford cannot make it back to the game.

The Dolphins need to figure a way to stop the Browns, which might be difficult considering they are also down star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
