Georgia sophomore tailback Nick Chubb underwent successful surgery on his left knee Friday at St. Mary's Hospital in Athens, according to a release from the university.
The surgery was performed by Robert Hancock, who is with the Athens Orthopedic Clinic and is the lead orthopedic surgeon for Georgia's athletic association, and by James Andrews of Andrews Sports Medicine in Pensacola, Fla.
Chubb sustained the injury on the first play from scrimmage in the 38-31 loss at Tennessee on Oct. 10.
"We are very pleased with the surgery and the procedure went extremely well," Georgia director of sports medicine Ron Courson said. "Following his discharge, Nick will start his rehabilitation program and we are optimistic for a full recovery."
