CLEVELAND (AP) — Nick Chubb’s gruesome left knee injury will require surgery, a devastating blow for the Cleveland Browns star running back who will have to go through another arduous rehabilitation to continue playing.

Chubb sustained the season-ending injury in Monday night’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

A four-time Pro Bowler in six seasons, Chubb got hurt when Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick tackled him low on a carry in the second quarter. The impact buckled the same knee Chubb injured in 2015 at Georgia and had reconstructed.

Coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed that Chubb’s season is over. He did not provide any specifics on the severity of the injury or when Chubb will have the operation.
