Georgia junior running back Nick Chubb Dawgs247 has learned from sources close to the situation that Georgia running back Nick Chubb underwent surgery to repair a torn posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) plus two other ligaments (the ACL was not damaged) and cartilage in his right knee on Friday.

Chubb sustained the injury on the first play from scrimmage on October 10 against Tennessee. UGA Head Coach Mark Richt said earlier in the week on his spot on the SEC teleconference that his sophomore tailback would be having surgery “in the next week.”

Richt also stated at that time that he and those in the program were “optimistic” that Chubb would be able to return to the field in 2016. When Georgia released as statement confirming the Cedartown native’s injury prognosis on October 11, Senior Associate Athletic Director for Sports Medicine, Ron Courson stated that a full recovery is expected.
