Source - Dolphins lose pass-rusher Bradley Chubb to torn ACL - ESPN
Miami Dolphins pass-rusher Bradley Chubb suffered a torn ACL in his right knee in Sunday's 56-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, ending his season, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.
Chubb went down with a noncontact injury late in the fourth quarter Sunday and was carted back to the locker room soon after. He was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the game.
The fact that Chubb and the Dolphins' defensive starters were on the field in a blowout loss drew instant criticism from fans on social media. Coach Mike McDaniel, in his second year at the helm, expressed regret in hindsight when asked about the decision to keep his starters in with the game all but decided.
«I mean, in hindsight, I would absolutely not have wanted him out there if I would've known that he was going to get hurt.… It doesn't look very smart at all,» he said Sunday. «The players wanted to go back in and play and finish the right way heading into next week. And I have the ability to tell them no on everything in this situation. There's plenty of decisions that I'll cross examine.… The intention is always purposeful. And I made the call that the guys that went out there, they wanted to be out there.
»I would like a time machine, for sure."
Chubb, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, leads the Dolphins with 11 sacks this season and took on a larger role after linebacker Jaelan Phillips tore an Achilles in Week 12. Behind him are Andrew Van Ginkel, Melvin Ingram and Emmanuel Ogbah, who was inactive for Sunday's game.
Chubb has now suffered torn ACLs in both knees during his six-year NFL career. The former first-round pick tore the ACL in his left knee in 2019 while playing for the Denver Broncos. Chubb also tore his left ACL in high school.
