The knee injury suffered by the Cleveland Browns' Nick Chubb is not considering career-ending, with initial tests revealing the running back tore only his left MCL, according to sources.
Sources said that while Chubb's ACL was stretched on the play, doctors do not believe that ligament is torn. Surgery is likely to happen this week, and sources said the hope is that more damage is not found.
Chubb's recovery timeline is expected to be six to eight months, sources said.
"I never would bet against Nick Chubb," one source said in relation to a quick recovery and comeback for the 27-year-old.
