Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb was carted off the field after injuring his left knee against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night.
Chubb suffered the injury after a 5-yard run near the Steelers goal line in the second quarter. He was ruled out almost immediately. Chubb, who already had 64 yards on 10 carries, injured the same knee in 2015, tearing his MCL, PCL and LCL.
The All-Pro running back immediately gestured toward the sideline. Players from both sides offered their support as he was loaded on the cart.
Quarterbacks and running backs around the league were among the first to react to Chubb’s injury on social media.
Prayers for Nick Chubb🙏🏾

Steelers’ All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, who helped tackle Chubb, also came out of the play banged up. However, he was able to return later in the game.
Just the worst feeling.
Gutted for Nick Chubb.
Hope Minkah is ok.
Injuries suck man.
