Georgia Running Back Nick Chubb injured in Tennessee Gam

Two weeks after Southern wide receiver Devon Gales suffered a crucial neck injury, running back Nick Chubb suffered a significant injury to his left knee in Saturday’s game against Tennessee.
This includes damages to multiple ligaments and cartilage but not the ACL, the school announced Sunday.
The 31-38 defeat hit hard after losing Chubb.
Chubb’s mother, Lavelle, posted on her Facebook page that her son suffered a PCL, or posterior cruciate ligament injury. This is considered a less offense than an ACL injury which is easier to recover from.
Head coach Mark Richt announced that Chubb will miss the rest of the season.
Chubb will remain hospitalized for further observation. He is expected to undergo intensive surgery in the next two weeks and the Bulldogs will expect a full recovery for the next two weeks.
Richt declined to expect a date that Chubb will return.
“I don’t want to make any timeframes on that kind of thing because we don’t really don’t know,” said Richt, “For preseason is what we hope.”
Richt continues to chalk up recovery for Chubb.
“All rehab is tough, but the best news is there was no damage to a nerve or anything vascular, like an artery,” said Richt. “That was the best news of all and of course the ACL not being damaged was great as well.”
Chubb was injured on the first play of the scrimmage on Saturday, when he took a hand-off and landed awkwardly on his left leg and tackled out of bounds.
Chubb entered Saturday’s game having at least rushed 100 yards for school record 13 straight games. He ranks second in the Southeastern Conference under Leonard Fournette of Louisiana State University. He averaged 8.2 yards per carry with 745 rushing yards and seven touchdowns.
Sophomore, Sony Michel replaced Chubb and inched on retribution in rushing for 145 yards on 22 carries adding three reception touches for 26 yards. The question for the future is talent behind Michel but Chubb isn’t the only running back to sustain injury at the University. Keith Marshall, last season injured his ACL against Tennessee two years ago and Brendan Douglas adds to another count. Last year it was only Todd Gurley who tore his ACL near the end of the first game back from an NCAA four game suspension.
This injury has deeply affected the Bulldog Nation and prayers have been sent towards Chubb and his family.
