University of Georgia sophomore tailback Nick Chubb suffered a significant left knee injury on the first play from scrimmage in Saturday's Georgia-Tennessee game in Knoxville. According to UGA Senior Associate Athletic Director for Sports Medicine Ron Courson, the injury involves damage to multiple ligaments and cartilage; however, the damage does not include the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Neither does the injury involve arteries or nerves. Courson said all the damage is repairable and a full recovery is expected following surgery and rehab.

Chubb is currently in the hospital for observation and surgery would be expected sometime in the next two weeks.
