Sensitive souls avoid it. Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb suffered a gruesome injury against the Steelers in Pittsburgh on Monday.
Chubb’s leg buckled significantly in the second quarter, resulting from a tackle by safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. The star player apparently suffered an injury to his left knee, a knee that has caused him many problems in the past.
In his second college season at Georgia, he missed the second half of the 2015 season after tearing his medial, lateral and posterior cruciate ligaments during a game.

Chubb was escorted from the field in a cart. Unsurprisingly, he did not return to the game.
On social media, several sports stars such as LeBron James, Trevor Lawrence, Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray wished the 27-year-old a speedy recovery.
In his first game of the season, on September 10 against the Cincinnati Bengals, Chubb had 18 carries and rushed for 106 yards.
