NFL-Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers-Oh no Nick Chubb!🏈🏉 09/17/23

 

Feel bad for Nick Chubb who just suffered what appears to be a major knee injury against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football when Minkah Fitzpatrick hit him on the knee on a carry inside the Pittsburgh 5 yard line.

I'd expect the Browns to re-sign Kareem Hunt in the upcoming week to sub in for Chubb, as Hunt knows the offense already and is still on the market.

The injury was so bad that ABC declined to show it immediately, then showed it from a broader angle with a warning about the graphic nature.

Nick seems to be a good guy so let us hope that his health doesn't suffer as much as it appears....

In other RB injury news, Saquon Barkley was hurt toward the end of the NY Giants much needed comeback victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday and reports are that he will be out for around 3 weeks.

In other AFC north news Joe Burrow reaggravated his calf injury late in the 4th quarter in the Cincinnati Bengals loss against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

RBs Zack Moss of the Indianapolis Colts, Kyren Williams of the LA Rams, Raheem Mostert of the Miami Dolphins and Brian Robinson of the Washington Commanders were the surprise running backs of the fantasy week and may possibly be on your waiver wire for pick up next week.   Note that Cam Akers appears to be done in LA, and the Rams are looking to trade Akers.

WR Puka Nacua again starred for the Rams, despite his questionable tag for most of the week leading up to last weeks game.
