Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb, widely regarded as one of the NFL’s premier running backs, faced a devastating setback on Monday night when he suffered a severe knee injury during their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The injury is expected to sideline him for the remainder of the season, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.
Chubb’s injury occurred in the second quarter of the game when he was hit low by Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, causing his left knee to buckle inward. The sight was grim, with Chubb clutching his leg in pain before being attended to by medical personnel and ultimately carted off the field. The severity of the injury was evident, as no replays of the incident were shown during the telecast.
one user On X (formerly Twitter) posted a video of his left knee to buckle inward.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed that Chubb would be out for the season, although specific details about the injury’s nature will be determined through imaging scheduled for Tuesday.
What makes this injury even more disheartening is that Chubb had previously experienced knee troubles during his college career at Georgia, where he tore the PCL, MCL, and LCL in his left knee. The recent injury occurred in the same knee, compounding the challenges he faces on his road to recovery.
Nick Chubb has been a model of consistency and excellence in the NFL, earning Pro Bowl honors four times and achieving four consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons. At just 27 years old, he was on track for another outstanding season, with a strong performance in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals and a solid start to Monday’s game, amassing 64 yards on 10 carries.
As the Browns and their fans rally to support Chubb during this difficult time, his absence on the field will undoubtedly be felt, both as a player and a leader on the team. The NFL community will be watching closely as Chubb embarks on his journey to recovery, hoping to see this resilient star return stronger than ever in the future.
