The Cleveland Browns’ Monday Night Football clash against the Pittsburgh Steelers finished a lot worse than anyone could expect. The Browns suffered a 26-22 loss while also seeing their star running back Nick Chubb suffer what seems to be a season-ending knee injury.

Chubb got hurt in the second quarter after Pittsburgh’s safety Minkah Fitzpatrick slammed into him while making a tackle. The 27-year-old Pro Bowler remained lying on the ground and had to be carted off.

While speaking with reporters after the game, Browns’ head coach Kevin Stefanski said that the full scope of Chubb’s injury is yet to be determined. However, Stefanski confirmed that he believes his best offensive player won’t play again in 2023.

“Obviously, Nick’s got a very significant knee injury, which is, you feel for the person,” Stefanski said. “He’s a great football player, as we know, but he’s an even better person. So we will support him every step along the way.”

Chubb has been the Browns’ biggest star on offense in recent years and was widely considered the best running back in the game. He made Pro Bowls in each of the past four years and has one Second-Team All-Pro nod.

Replacing Chubb will be tough for the Browns, especially since they don’t have that much depth in the running back position. If Cleveland decides to stay put, the coaching staff will likely turn to Chubb’s backup, Jerome Ford, to serve as their new main rusher.

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb suffered an MCL sprain in his team’s Sunday win against the Dallas Cowboys and has been placed on the injured reserve list for the foreseeable future.

Chubb suffered the injury while blocking on a play-action pass today with a minute left in the first quarter of Cleveland’s 49-38 win. His knee buckled after a defender inadvertently rolled onto his leg, and the training staff immediately took him off of the field.

The former Georgia Bulldog, who has already compiled 335 rushing yards on 57 carries with 4 touchdowns so far in the young season, was diagnosed with an MCL sprain that will keep him out for at least several weeks.

Chubb has been key in the Browns’ surprising 3-1 start to the season as their productive starting running back, and the lack of his presence will definitely be a blow going forward.

Most estimates expect Chubb to return in around 6 to 8 weeks if there are no unexpected setbacks in his recovery, which would put him back on the field around mid to late November.

In the meantime, the Browns are expected to use backups Kareem Hunt and Dontrell Hilliard until Chubb is able to return to game action.
