Nick Chubb has suffered another serious injury. The Cleveland Browns running back broke his foot during the team’s 21-7 to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Chubb played only two games in 2023 before suffering a season-ending injury against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Due to this new foot injury, his season is likely over again, and he might have already played his last game for the Browns.
Fans React to Nick Chubb’s Latest Injury
Chubb has suffered multiple serious injuries throughout his career. Fans on social media are worried about the running back’s future in football. He will be 29 by the end of December, and it is tough for a player at his position to return to his usual level after multiple setbacks.
Here’s how the fans reacted:
“He can’t catch a damn break,” said one fan.
Another fan added, “RIP TO A TOP 3 Browns RB’s career” — likely speculation regarding Chubb’s status as a free agent after the 2024 season.
Feel so bad for him. Can’t imagine what he’s going through.

“I feel so bad for him,” wrote a fan.

Chubb missed the first six games of the 2024 season as he was still recovering from the injuries he sustained in 2023. In the eight games that he played, the former Georgia star rushed for 332 yards and three touchdowns on 102 carries, averaging a career-low 3.3 yards per carry.
He will be a free agent next season, and although the Browns love him, it’s not certain that the franchise will re-sign him. Jerome Ford impressed last season in Chubb’s absence, and he could turn into a leading back for Cleveland if the team moves on from the four-time Pro Bowler.
Chubb’s injury history
Here’s a list of notable injuries that Chubb has suffered in his football career:
- 2015: While at Georgia, he dislocated his left knee while suffering cartilage damage and also tore the PCL, MCL, and LCL in the same knee
- 2020: MCL sprain
- 2021: Calf strain
- 2023: Chubb suffered a serious injury in Week 2 of last season and underwent surgeries to repair his MCL, ACL, and meniscus
- 2024: Broke his foot against the Chiefs in Week 15
Chubb has had a pretty good career in the NFL, especially considering the severe injury he suffered while he was in college. He has played seven seasons in the league and has rushed for 1,000+ yards in four of them.
Per Spotrac, the star running back has made $36.3 million in career earnings so far. His career is not over, as this injury will allow him more time to recover and be ready for the 2025 season.
Chubb didn’t play well this season, likely due to the injuries he suffered last season. This foot injury will provide him enough time to heal and look at his options for the upcoming free agency.
