Chubb had plenty of support on social media in the aftermath of his injury, starting with LeBron James. 

DAMN MAN!!!! 🤦🏾‍♂️. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Nick Chubb. Praying for the absolute best

James was playing in Cleveland when Chubb was drafted by the Browns in 2018, with both becoming star athletes in the city. Chubb also received plenty of support from his NFL brethren. 

Just the worst feeling. Gutted for Nick Chubb. Hope Minkah is ok. Injuries suck man. They absolutely suck.

Nick Chubb. God is right there with you! Role model🙏🏽

Prayers for Nick Chubb, never want to see that. 🙏🏽

If you get a second, send a prayer up for Nick Chubb. Never want to see anybody on that cart.

That low hit is so brutal man especially when you carrying someone!! I hate that so much I’m so sick for Chubb man.

The knee injury Chubb suffered is the same knee Chubb injured at Georgia back in October of 2015. On that day, Chubb tore his MCL, PCL, and LCL with cartilage damage while dislocating his left knee. He was able to recover from that to become the first NFL running back ever to average 5.0 yards per carry or higher in five consecutive years. 

The NFL world is pulling for Chubb as he awaits his official diagnosis. Chubb has battled adversity before with his left knee, and will have to again to get back to the level that has defined his NFL career.
