Browns pass-rusher Myles Garrett explained the team was devastated over Chubb’s injury, saying, “It f**king hurts. That’s our brother, that’s my brother, and it’s a blow for the whole team.”
Chubb has been dubbed the best running back, exceeding the 1,000-yard mark during his six-year career. But his best year was 2022, where he landed 1,525 yards and 12 touchdowns.
