The Cleveland Browns announced RB Nick Chubb underwent the planned second surgery to repair his torn ACL.
After a severe knee injury earlier this season in which the joint was dislocated, Chubb had his first surgery back on September 30 to repair his meniscus and MCL. This second procedure was expected to finish repairing all of the damage, including to his ACL.
The Browns said the surgery was a success and Chubb is on track to return at some point during the 2024 season.
The standard return timeline for a torn ACL is nine to 12 months.
Chubb, 28, was drafted by the Browns in the second round out of Georgia in 2018. He was entering the final year of a four-year, $7,383,094 contract when Cleveland signed him to a three-year, $36 million extension in back in 2021.
He’s set to make a base salary of $10.850,000 in 2023.
In 2023, Chubb appeared in two games for the Browns and rushed for 167 yards on 27 carries to go along with 21 yards on four receptions.
We wish Chubb the best in his return to to the field.
