Georgia RB Nick Chubb injures left knee against Tennessee (Video)

Georgia running back Nick Chubb suffered what appeared to be a serious injury to his left leg on the first play from scrimmage Saturday against Tennessee.

Chubb first landed awkwardly on his left leg. Then he landed really awkwardly as he was spun around while tumbling toward the sidelines. Here's the video. Just a warning, it may make you squeamish.

He was looked at by Georgia's medical staff on the sidelines and helped off the field to a training table on the Georgia sideline. He was then taken to the locker room on a cart with an ice bag wrapped around his left knee. According to CBS sideline reporter Allie LaForce, Chubb collapsed on his way to the cart.

The sophomore running back entered the Tennessee game looking for his 14th-straight 100-yard rushing game. His 13th-straight game, a Georgia record, came in the Bulldogs' Week 5 loss to Alabama. After the game, a 38-31 loss after the Bulldogs jumped out to an early 24-3 lead., Georgia coach Mark Richt was thinking best-case about Chubb's injury.

Without Chubb, Georgia's offense takes a big hit. He emerged as the team's feature back as a freshman in 2014 when Todd Gurley was suspended. He then remained the focal point of Georgia's offense when Gurley injured his knee upon his return. Chubb had 1,547 yards rushing and 14 touchdowns in 2014.

With his two-yard carry against Tennessee, Chubb has 92 carries for 747 yards and seven touchdowns in 2015.
