Chubb, who has rushed for over 1,000 yards in four consecutive seasons, was carted off the field during the second quarter of Monday night\u2019s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters post-game that he anticipates Chubb will be out for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team did not specify the nature of Chubb\u2019s injury but fears are that it involves multiple tears. A team official confirmed Chubb was taken to a local hospital as a precaution before returning to Cleveland ahead of the squad. This is the same knee that Chubb had reconstructed in 2015 after suffering multiple ligament tears while playing at Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The impact of Chubb\u2019s loss was palpable in the locker room after the game, eclipsing even the sting of the 26-22 defeat to the Steelers. \u201cNick is the engine of the team. Best player on the team\u2026 it\u2019s a tragedy,\u201d said wide receiver Amari Cooper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quarterback Deshaun Watson, a longtime friend of Chubb, added, \u201cOnce we saw the [stadium] replay, [I had] a lot of flashbacks to the [injury] he had in college.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without Chubb, the Browns\u2019 offense was visibly hampered for the rest of the game. Jerome Ford, Chubb\u2019s replacement, managed a 69-yard run in the third quarter to set up a go-ahead touchdown. However, the team could not sustain that momentum, and a second defensive touchdown by the Steelers sealed Cleveland\u2019s fate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All-Pro guard Joel Bitonio acknowledged the gaping hole left in the offense. \u201cHe\u2019s a great teammate, he works hard, a great person,\u201d Bitonio said. \u201cTo see him go down \u2026 it\u2019s tough\u2026 It\u2019s a big loss.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the game, the Browns had been vying for their first 2-0 start since 1993. Now they must grapple with how to move forward without one of the&nbsp;NFL\u2019s top running backs. \u201cThat\u2019s our brother,\u201d said defensive end Myles Garrett. \u201cWe don\u2019t want his injury to be in vain. We gotta push on. That\u2019s what he would want us to do. Just continue to fight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the Browns recalibrate their season\u2019s aspirations, Chubb\u2019s injury is not just a setback on the field but an emotional blow to a team that considered him its linchpin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Betting\">Betting Implications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a significant blow to the Browns, not only on offense but as a whole. He\u2019s been one of the more dependable running backs in the league, with over 220 carries in three of the previous five seasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of writing, bet365 have the Browns as joint 10th most likely to win the <a href=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/super-bowl\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/super-bowl\">Super Bowl<\/a> (Currently 28\/1), but don\u2019t be surprised if you see those odds get bigger after this. Second-year player Jerome Ford should step in as the lead running back, and the Browns will look at free agency to add depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the UK&#8217;s best<a href=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/nfl\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/nfl\"> NFL betting sites <\/a> at Betting.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a crushing blow to the Cleveland Browns,&nbsp;NFL&nbsp;All-Pro running back Nick Chubb was carted off the field with a \u201csignificant\u201d knee injury during Monday night\u2019s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
