BEREA, Ohio -- Four days before making his season debut against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7, Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb wrote a story in The Players Tribune reflecting on his long journey back to the field.
Thirteen months prior, in a Week 2 Monday night game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Chubb tore his left MCL and sustained damage to his meniscus and medial capsule -- his second major left knee injury -- ending his 2023 season and leaving the Browns without a player often referred to as the "heart and soul" of their team.
