Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb has been diligently rehabbing his knee. In fact, he squatted over 500 pounds in a recent workout video that provides an update on his recovery.
The former Georgia football star suffered a serious left knee injury during Monday Night Football on Sept. 19, 2023 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Following his ugly injury, Chubb underwent a successful knee surgery on Sept. 29, 2023 for his media capsule, meniscus and media collateral ligament (MCL). Later, Chubb underwent another successful surgery on his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) on Nov. 14, 2023.
Now, Chubb is back in the weight room in preparation for the 2024 NFL season. Chubb still does not have a timetable for his recovery, but he’s clearly making some impressive progress.
The Browns running back previously recovered from a serious leg injury during his Georgia career and is trying to do it again in 2024.

“What happened to Nick (Chubb) last year was very unfortunate. He had no desire to be anywhere besides Cleveland,” said Cleveland Browns General Manager Andrew Berry. “We had no desire for that to be the last snap that he would take in a Cleveland Browns jersey. And just, quite honestly, he’s the heartbeat and pulse of our team.”
“He’s a selfless individual,” added Berry. “He works hard… coming into the year, I had a respect level for Nick Chubb that was a 10 out of 10. And coming out of the season, it was probably a 20 out of 10 because this was a person who came in every day — 5:30 a.m. doing his rehab modalities — working as if he was preparing for Sunday. I think that says something about him individually and as a professional.”
Nick Chubb has 6,511 rushing yards and 52 total touchdowns during his six season NFL career. Chubb is a four-time Pro Bowl selection.
