Former Georgia Bulldog Nick Chubb has entered the NFL’s concussion protocol after taking a hit to the head/neck area in training camp. The Cleveland Browns running back finished second in the NFL in rushing yards (1,494) last season behind Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry.
The former UGA standout has played in every game throughout his two year NFL career. Cleveland will miss him should he miss any game action. Hopefully, Chubb can heal up soon and get ready for the start of the NFL season.
The Cleveland Browns open their season against the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 13. Kareem Hunt will assume the starting role in the Cleveland backfield until Chubb returns. Chubb must go through the various steps of the protocol before he’ll be able to fully return to practice and eventually able to play in a game.
Chubb is a key fixture in Cleveland’s offense. The Browns will look to improve upon their 6-10 record from last season.
We will provide updates on the status of Chubb’s recovery. His injury could open the door for Cleveland to bring back former Georgia Bulldog Brian Herrien. The Browns previously cut Herrien this offseason.
