Cleveland Browns star running back Nick Chubb suffered a devastating knee injury last season that derailed his season. But he recently revealed that the injury didn’t just affect him physically, it also took a toll on him mentally, as well.
During a recent press conference, Nick Chubb opened up about how he was “down mentally” following his injury, especially considering he’d had a similar injury before and knew exactly what sort of rehab and recovery awaited him.
“The team did a great job of being there for me,” Chubb said according to Pro Football Talk. “I was down mentally for a while. When you get hurt it’s one thing. When you get hurt again and you already know what you have to go through, the entire process, surgery, rehab, it’s a non-stop battle every day. So my team did a great job of being there for me and I was around the building for them. They did a great job, made the playoffs, had a great run.”
Chubb is expected to make a full recovery from the injury that ended his season last year, but it sounds like it was a long and hard process for him to get to this point.
