Denver Broncos' Bradley Chubb out for season with torn ACL: 'It's a huge loss'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Denver Broncos announced Monday that second-year linebacker Bradley Chubb will miss the rest of the season after suffering a torn ACL in a loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The former first-round pick suffered the injury but managed to finish the game. He even forced a fumble on the last drive, though the ball bounced right back to Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew.

After the game, Chubb told reporters after the game that cramps were the reason he was on and off the field at points during the fourth quarter.

Chubb has been one of the best linebackers next to Von Miller since entering the league. In four games this season, Chubb had one sack and 21 total tackles.
