The Browns star is still rehabbing after a gruesome hit from the Steelers safety ended his season in Week 2 last year.
“I don’t think it’s a dirty hit at all," said Chubb on Wednesday. "I’m not blaming him. It’s part of the game."The nausea inducing hit from Fitzpatrick in Week 2 of last season left Chubb's knee mangled and people tuning in at home or in the stadium feeling uneasy as Chubb was carted off the field.
For better or for worse, the 28-year-old is right, those low hits are part of the game. That may not stop Browns fans from seeing it as a clean play, but Chubb isn't stressing over it. He made it clear that he's moving on. “I moved on," the four-time Pro Bowl running back said. "It happened so fast. Anyways, it was a blurry two weeks. I don’t think about it much, I’m just moving forward.”
Since the incident Chubb has seen an outpouring of support from Browns fans, his teammates, his colleagues across the league, even his hometown community in Cedartown, Georgia. As the Georgia product spent his entire offseason rehabbing in an effort to get back on the field as quickly as possible the support has been uplifting.
"I had guys tweeting at me all across the NFL,' said Chubb. "It shows, at the end of the day, we’re all human and we’re all in this together. And, you know, injuries, they suck, but they do happen. But, you know, it’s all about being there for your brother.”Spencer German is a contributor to the Northeast Ohio cluster of sites, including Cavs Insider, Cleveland Baseball Insider and most notably Browns Digest.
