Cleveland Browns: Nick Chubb Suffers Season-Ending Foot Injury; Jameis Winston Benched
Running again Nick Chubb is completed for the season after struggling a damaged foot throughout a 21-7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, a tricky blow after getting back from a significant knee harm.
Chubb is slated to turn out to be an unrestricted free agent in March. The four-time Pro Bowler has performed his whole profession with Cleveland since being drafted in 2018 and rushed for not less than 1,000 yards in 4 straight seasons (2019-22).
However, he suffered a season-ending knee harm in Week 2 of 2023 and has averaged a career-low 3.3 yards per carry in eight video games since returning.
“I am unable to inform you how a lot I respect him as an individual, what he means to this soccer crew,” Head Coach Kevin Stefanski stated by way of Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com. “So, actually, actually dissatisfied about this harm. Does not change the truth that he continues to encourage this soccer crew with how he approaches each single day. And I do know that is one other impediment that he’ll overcome.”
Stefanski did not decide to a beginning quarterback for Week 16 in opposition to the Cincinnati Bengals after Jameis Winston threw three interceptions in opposition to the Chiefs and was benched within the third quarter. Dorian Thompson-Robinson completed the sport after changing Winston, who has thrown 12 interceptions since taking up for injured Deshaun Watson in Week 8.
“This shouldn’t be about one individual,” Stefanski stated. “I wish to make that very clear. Jameis does a fantastic job getting ready for these video games. He’s preventing his tail off and I recognize that from him, however we’ll make that call later.”
