<\/p>\nEvery superhero story needs its conflict \u2013 its tragic backstory, its inevitable fights, its moral dilemmas, its threatening antagonists. And since being drafted in 2018,\u00a0Cleveland Browns\u00a0running back Nick Chubb has been a superhero in the backfield.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He’s run his way to four Pro Bowls and a second-team All-Pro selection, carrying the Browns offense on his back with increasingly impossible touchdown runs.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, adversity quickly found\u00a0Cleveland’s\u00a0protagonists. Before his NFL career started, it almost never happened thanks to a torn MCL, LCL, and PCL in his left knee. After his stretch of dominance, his 2023 season ended in Week 2 when that same knee tore its MCL and ACL at the hands of Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.<\/p>\n
That could’ve been curtains for Chubb. Perhaps for its prime, it was. But he managed to return in 2024, although that too was cut short due to injury, this time via a broken foot in Week 15.<\/p>\n
Now, he’s set to be a free agent, and despite his standing as a franchise icon, general manager Andrew Berry didn’t seem optimistic about his potential return.<\/p>\n
“We do expect Nick to hit the market,” Berry\u00a0said, via Cleveland.com, at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. “Obviously his contract is up this year. We’ll meet with his reps and everything like that, but it’s obviously something we need to work through over the next couple weeks.”<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Browns\u00a0legend shared a viral social media post after Berry’s comments. He took to Instagram to post a picture of Batman wiping blood off his mouth.<\/p>\n
