UPDATE, 10:07 p.m.: According to a report from NFL Insider Jordan Schultz, the Cleveland Browns fear that Nick Chubb’s 2023 season is over due to the devastating injury he suffered Monday night in the second quarter. Schultz is reporting that the Browns fear Chubb has a possible knee dislocation with multiple ligament damage.
Chubb is currently undergoing testing at a Pittsburgh-area hospital. Devastating news for Chubb and the Browns.
Some potentially awful news for Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb. Chubb suffered what seemed to be a very serious knee injury in Monday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It happened on an early second quarter carry where his leg bent awkwardly.
According to ESPN’s Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, the replay was so bad that the production crew opted not to show it. The Acrisure Stadium crowd gasped when the stadium showed the replay. Chubb was in considerable pain after the play.
Chubb was carted off the field. The Browns officially called it a knee injury and he was immediately ruled out. Prior to getting hurt, he was having a strong night, carrying the ball 10 times for 64 yards.
Steelers FS Minkah Fitzpatrick was injured on the play but got off under his own power.
Chubb is one of the NFL’s best backs and arguably the best pure runner in football. He is a four-time Pro Bowler who has run for at least 1,000 yards in each of his last four seasons.
Browns QB Deshaun Watson hit backup RB Jerome Ford for a passing touchdown the following play. The Browns converted a two-point conversion — they accepted an offsides penalty despite a successful extra point attempt — to take an 11-7 lead.
