- Update: NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reports that Nick Chubb suffered what is expected to be a season-ending knee injury with multiple torn ligaments Monday night. He’ll have further tests to confirm the diagnosis.
Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb is no stranger to overcoming devastating knee injuries. Back in 2015 with the Georgia Bulldogs, Chubb suffered tears to the PCL, MCL and LCL of his left knee. He also dislocated his knee.
Shockingly, Chubb returned the following season and showed out for Georgia. It led to him being selected in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft by the Browns.
We’re not going to speculate on the severity of the knee injury Chubb suffered Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. But it did not good look on tape. In fact, ABC refused to show a replay of the injury due to its grotesque nature. We’ll just link for you if you want to see it.
