The Cleveland Browns placed Nick Chubb on injured reserve Wednesday, three days after the running back sustained a broken foot in the second half of a game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Chubb’s season came to an early end for the second straight year. He sustained multiple torn ligaments and underwent two surgeries on his left knee following a season-ending injury against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 18, 2023.

Chubb, who turns 29 on Dec. 27, started all eight games he played this season. He had 102 carries for 332 yards and three touchdowns and five receptions for 31 yards and one score.

Chubb has totaled 6,843 yards and 51 TDs on the ground and 1,042 receiving yards and five TDs in 85 career games (78 starts) since being selected by the Browns in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Georgia.

He was selected for the Pro Bowl for four consecutive seasons from 2019-22, topping 1,000 rushing yards in each campaign.

Also on Wednesday, Cleveland signed rookie tight end Brenden Bates to the active roster from the New York Jets’ practice squad. In addition, the Browns signed running back Jacob Kibodi to the practice squad and released tight end Cameron Latu from the practice squad.
