When running back Nick Chubb didn’t get up, holding his knee, everyone on the sideline of the Cleveland Browns collectively held their breath. Chubb is one of if not the best running backs in the NFL and is a consistent force for the Browns’ offense. He has already been ruled out of this game.
As the team struggles to figure it out offensively they will now be without their best weapon maybe for the rest of the season. At first, ESPN would not show the replay as they said it was too gruesome to show though they would later show a sped-up version.
Buy Browns TicketsThere isn’t a fan of the Cleveland Browns that doesn’t love Nick Chubb as he has just been fantastic so far in his career. The team will now look to second-year players Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong Jr. to carry the load as they likely will add another to the roster this week.
Let’s take a look at how social media reacted to the running back injury.
Bro no way…

The #Browns have already ruled out RB Nick Chubb with a knee injury so gruesome that ABC chose not to show the replay. An awful scene for one of the NFL's best backs.

Gutted for Nick Chubb.

Injuries suck man.
They absolutely suck.— JJ Watt (@JJWatt) September 19, 2023
Nick Chubb is like, America's running back.
He's awesome, he's not cocky, he doesn't celebrate, he can absolutely destroy your defense and he will barely say a word after doing it. EVERYONE likes him and respects him. This is just the worst.

Nick Chubb is the kind of player that fans love, players love, coaches love. Not just on the #Browns, either. He's all about football all the time and there's no questioning his dedication to the game. To see someone like that go down with such a tough injury is gutting.

I get that we’re supposed to be unbiased impartial journalists. But Nick Chubb is everything football is supposed to be. The way he runs, the way he works, the teammate he is… I feel so deflated. And am praying for a miracle. #Browns 💔

Fucking nauseating.

Nick Chubb was the only thing that was working for this offense. The passing game is going to have to figure it out or it’s going to be a long season.

I’m pretty desensitized to injuries in football. It happens frequently and you know the risks that occur when you play.
The nick Chubb injury has hit me harder than any other football injury that hasn’t happened to a high schooler I’ve coached in maybe five years? Maybe longer?
