Injury Rounds

Nick Chubb | Right knee injury | Week-to-Week | Doubtful Week 5

Chubb was hit on the outside of his right knee while pass blocking and did not return. Video of the injury is most consistent with an MCL sprain but additional injuries cannot be ruled out. The Browns wouldn't discuss specifics after the game, saying only Chubb would have an MRI on Monday to further evaluate the injury.

Thankfully, this injury is not to the same knee that Chubb injured (multiple ligament, including ACL) at Georgia.

Even an isolated, low-grade MCL sprain causes pain and stability issues that limit a running back's ability to play. Prepare for a multiple-week absence.

Monday Update: Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport are confirming a high-grade MCL sprain for Chubb. He may miss six weeks and will be moved to injured reserve today.

Mike Evans | Right high ankle sprain | Day-to-Day | Questionable Week 5

Evans returned to the game after limping off with what video suggests is a high ankle sprain. Although he looked limited at times, Evans was effective for the rest of the game and Bruce Arians told reporters he thought Evans would play Thursday night.

However, as we often see, the 24-48 hours after a high ankle sprain are critical. Except in clearly higher-grade injuries, it can be difficult to predict the amount of swelling and stiffness that develop in the hours after the game. The quick turnaround to Thursday won't help Evans.

Arians' optimism sounds reassuring but we may hear more pessimism as the week progresses.
