Running back’s horrific knee injury is not for the squeamish (Video)

Not an easy watch

OK, we’re giving you another warning… This is horrific.

Our thoughts are with Georgia Bulldogs’ running back Nick Chubb who sustained one of the most gruesome-looking injuries that we’ve ever seen.

The 19-year-old tried to catch his balance after being spun around in a tackle but the momentum forced a nasty hyper-extension of his left knee.

WARNING: Graphic video

It’s understood that Chubb collapsed during medical treatment but came to in the ambulance.

Head coach Mark Richt revealed that he’s “pretty hopeful that it won’t require surgery, but is not 100 percent sure of that. We’ve got to get some confirmation.”

The images would lead you to believe that there’s no way the injury wouldn’t require surgery but our fingers are crossed for a speedy recovery for the talented youngster.
