Nick Chubb was carted off the field after suffering a knee injury during the second quarter of the Browns’ Monday night matchup against the Steelers. Chubb was hurt after a five-yard run from the Steelers’ 8-yard-line. Without Chubb, the Browns battled but ultimately ended up on the wrong side of a 26-22 final score.
ESPN’s broadcast team initially elected not to show the replay, but one could hear the gasps from the crowd at Acrisure Stadium when it was shown on the jumbotron. The crowd then cheered for Chubb as he was carted off to the locker room.
A four-time Pro Bowler, Chubb had 64 yards on 10 carries prior to getting injured. He had 106 yards on the ground in the Browns’ Week 1 win over the Bengals.
Jerome Ford replaced Chubb as the Browns’ starting running back. A fifth-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Ford had eight carries as a rookie and 15 carries in Cleveland’s 24-3 win over the Bengals. He played admirably in place of Chubb on Monday night, rushing for 106 yards on 16 carries that included a 69-yard run that set up Cleveland’s final score of the night.
We’ll provide an injury on Chubb’s status as soon as one is available.
