It’s been reported that Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb has suffered a minor injury, a torn ligament in his knee. According to an Associated Press source, the injury is not expected to be serious and Chubb is expected to make a full recovery.
Chubb, who was drafted in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft, has been a key contributor to the Browns offense this season. He has rushed for 803 yards and six touchdowns on the season, and has been a reliable pass-catcher out of the backfield, with 24 receptions for 149 yards.
The injury occurred during the Browns’ Week 10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Chubb was seen limping off the field after a run in the fourth quarter and did not return to the game.
The Browns have not yet released any information on the severity of Chubb’s injury, but they are expected to provide an update on his status soon. If Chubb is forced to miss any time, it would be a big blow to the Browns’ offense, as he has been one of their most consistent performers this season.
It’s unclear at this time how long Chubb will be sidelined, but it appears that he will make a full recovery from the injury. The Browns will need him back on the field as soon as possible if they are to make a run at the playoffs this season.
