Browns offensive line/run game gets a boost.
Many may be unaware of who Pocic is and his effectiveness on the Browns O-Line.
Prior to his injury, he was on a Pro Bowl pace.
The stark splits note his impact by his absence in the run game. Precipitous drop-off from 4 to 17 running the ball so getting him back 'should' help Chubb.
About the only negative would be that he has never worked with Watson so there 'could' be a snap/exchange issue, doubtful but 'possible'.
Cannot oversell how good Pocic has been.

After returning to practice earlier this week, C Ethan Pocic will be activated from injured reserve for Saturday vs. Saints. He should be a big boost to the #Browns

Why Mitch Morse over Ethan Pocic for Pro Bowl nod is egregious
...Center Ethan Pocic,
who is set to return from Injured Reserve,
has experienced a massive breakout season for the Browns in 2022 ...
...Pocic has started since day-one after Nick Harris suffered a season-ending injury on the first dive of the preseason.
He has been nothing but tremendous as Bill Callahan has notched another infinity stone in his developmental gauntlet...
...Pocic’s absence the past four weeks has put his impact on this offensive line in Cleveland on full display as well.
The Browns were a top-four rushing team in the NFL over the first 11 weeks of the season but fell to the 17th-best in the four weeks that Pocic was out on Injured Reserve.
It’s on his tape, it’s noticeable in his absence,
Pocic has been a top-shelf center this season
