When will Nick Chubb be back?

Nick Chubb was poised to put up numbers like Henry and Fournette last year but his promising future was suddenly in jeopardy after tearing up his knee vs. Tennessee in October. Chubb is progressing in his recovery, but he’s not going to take part in spring practices as he continues to recover from his torn PCL and other knee ligaments.

But will we see Chubb at all in 2016 or has he played his last game as a member of the Georgia Bulldogs?

First-year head coach Kirby Smart and the Georgia trainers have his long-term future in mind and won’t rush him back to win a game in early October if he’s not ready.

But, hopefully, for Georgia and for college football fans, Chubb will be able to make a full recovery and return to the form he showed as a freshman when he ran for 1,547 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Next: Is Tennessee for real?
