Nick Chubb, who is one of the best running backs in the NFL, suffered a leg injury during the Cleveland Browns' Week 4 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Chubb suffered a knee injury and will not return for the remainder of the game.

Chubb was in obvious pain after Cowboys defensive lineman Trysten Hill landed on his lower leg. The 24-year-old eventually walked off the field and into the locker room. He finished the game with six carries for 43 yards.

The Pro Bowler has played an important role in the Cleveland offense through four weeks of the 2020 campaign. He has 51 carries for 292 yards and four touchdowns and three receptions for 17 yards.

If he misses an extended period of time, the Browns will have to rely on Kareem Hunt and D'Ernest Johnson.
