Chubb, one of the premier running backs in the NFL, was placed on Injured Reserve Wednesday, and has received an outpour of support from his fellow NFL peers following the horrific injury, including from San Francisco 49ers wideout Deebo Samuel.
Samuel, who appeared on the "Up and Adams" show with Kay Adams on Tuesday, offered his prayers to the injured running back, especially given his injury history in the past, dating back to his days with the Georgia Bulldogs.
"I mean, it's tough," Samuel said. "It kind of made me cringe a little bit, knowing what Chubb has dealt with in the past with the knee injury. I kind of met him when I was coming out because he was signed to the same marketing agent that I was signed with. And just to hear what he's dealt with, and nobody wanted to see that happen."
"It's just like all prayers to him, and we wish him well. And hopefully, have a good recovery and get back out there on the field one of these days."
Chubb was drafted in the second round with the Cleveland Browns, and has rushed for over 1,000 yards in every season of his career, except for a rookie campaign where he earned 996 yards.
