Nick Chubb Injury: No intention of retiring

Chubb (foot) made a post on his personal Instagram account earlier this month suggesting that he has no plans to retire. "They've already wrote my ending when I'm just getting started," Chubb wrote in his post, which accompanied a video of him squatting over 500 pounds.

Chubb seems to have made some progress in his recovery from the season-ending foot fracture he suffered in mid-December. He didn't need surgery but still doesn't seem to have generated much interest in free agency this spring, with teams likely concerned he'll never come close to his prior explosiveness after suffering a multi-ligament injury in September 2023 to the same left knee he damaged in college. The 29-year-old running back isn't likely to get much guaranteed money but should at least find an opportunity to compete for carries at some point before training camp. The obvious fit right now is a return to Cleveland, where Jerome Ford sits atop the depth chart ahead of this week's draft.
