The Browns were hopeful that Nick Chubb’s right knee injury wasn’t as serious as it first looked.

According to Ian Rapoport, Chubb suffered an MCL sprain in his knee and will be placed on the IR.

The injury is not season-ending.

He is expected to miss 6 weeks with the injury.

Chubb clutched the knee and grimaced in pain after a defender rolled up on his knee during the first quarter of Sunday’s 49-38 win over the Cowboys.

The Browns’ bye week could be a reasonable target for Chubb’s return, coming back for the week 10 matchup against the Houston Texans.

Chubb was the second in the NFL in rushing before he left the game against the Cowboys with 335 yards on 57 carries.

The Browns will certainly miss Chubb in the upcoming weeks when they play challenging defenses in the Colts and Steelers.
