Browns star Nick Chubb carted from the field after suffering horrendous leg injury vs. the Steelers… RB is left writhing in pain with broadcasters REFUSING to show a replay

Browns running back Nick Chubb has been carted off from the field after suffering a horrendous-looking leg injury in the second quarter of Monday night’s game against the Steelers, as fans fears that the four-time Pro Bowler’s season is now over.

The 27-year-old yelled in pain after colliding with Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick on Cleveland’s first-and-goal play with 14:26 left before halftime, as Pittsburgh led 7-3 at the time.

Fans in Pittsburgh reacted to replays shown on the big screen at Acrisure Stadium with groans, as footage shows Chubb’s legs bending awkwardly underneath him while being tackled by Fitzpatrick. 

What’s more, is that by the end his five-yard run, Chubb’s left knee appeared almost entirely at a right angle.

After the play, a teammate grabbed Chubb’s hand to try to help him to his feet, but Chubb shook his head while clutching his left knee in what is a potential sign of a season-ending injury.

Chubb suffered a serious injury to the same knee in 2015 while in college at Georgia – a dislocation with three torn ligaments. 

Like the previous injury, the one on Monday night was difficult to watch, and ESPN declined to show replays of the play where he was hurt on TV. 

Chubb had ran 10 times for 64 yards prior to getting injured.

He has ultimately been ruled out for the remainder of Monday’s game with a knee injury. 

‘DAMN MAN!!!! Nick Chubb,’ shared LeBron James on X, formerly known as Twitter. ‘Praying for the absolute best.’ 

‘Just the worst feeling. Gutted for Nick Chubb,’ tweeted J.J. Watt. ‘Hope Minkah is OK. Injuries suck man. They absolutely suck.’

‘That low hit is so brutal man especially when you carrying someone!! I hate that so much I’m so sick for Chubb man,’ wrote Mark Ingram II – a former running back and Sport Anchor for Fox Sports.

A few retired NFL players & other athletes, including LeBron James, reacted to Chubbs’ injury

Chubb was replaced by Jerome Ford, who scored on a 3-yard reception immediately after his exit. Ford then rushed for a 2-point conversion to put Cleveland ahead 11-7. 

Chubb’s injury came on the same day it emerged that the NFL has filed a grievance against the NFL Players Association, alleging that union leaders, including president JC Tretter, have advised running backs to ‘consider feigning or exaggerating injuries’ to help increase their leverage in contract negotiations.

The grievance, filed on September 11, will be reviewed by an arbitrator.

In a memo sent to the league’s management council executive committee and obtained by The Associated Press, the NFL said the union made the suggestion to running backs during a Zoom meeting before the season.

Any player who took the union’s advice and faked an injury would be violating the collective bargaining agreement, the league argued.
