Running back Nick Chubb suffered a horrific knee injury on Week 2 Monday Night Football between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns that caused him to be ruled out for the remainder of the 2023 NFL season.
However, the running back has received good news after the latest medical evaluations. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, an MRI revealed that Chubb only suffered a torn MCL and that there was no damage to the ACL.
This means that the Cleveland Browns player will be out less time than expected because he also did not damage his kneecap and the other ligaments in his knee are also intact.
The injury occurred when Chubb was close to being tackled by Cole Holcomb and Minkah Fitzpatrick struggled to stop him. The Browns running back fell to the grass after the Steelers safety hit and

Who will replace Nick Chubb in the Browns offense?
Chubb, an All-Pro running back in 2022, will be replaced by Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt, whom the Browns signed this week to a one-year contract in exchange for $4 million.
Ford, who is in his second year in the league, did a nice job rushing for 106 yards on 16 carries against the Steelers. For his part, Hunt is a six-year NFL veteran who spent the last four seasons with the Browns after being drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2017.
