Broncos suffer ‘huge loss:’ Chubb done for 2019

2:01 PM ET

Bradley Chubb has a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the season, an injury that is a “huge loss” for the winless Denver Broncos.

Broncos coach Vic Fangio confirmed that Chubb, the fifth overall pick in the 2018 draft, suffered the season-ending loss in Denver’s 26-24 loss Sunday to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

“It’s a huge loss,” Fangio said Monday. “He’s a tempo setter, a great person, a great leader.”

Chubb left the game twice — first for a calf injury, then for the knee injury — before returning to the lineup to close out the contest.

“He played that last series pretty damn well,” Fangio said Monday. “[He] had some pretty good pass rushes … he was as surprised as anybody this morning when he woke up.”

Chubb spoke at his locker after the game and made no reference to his knee. The second-year linebacker has 20 tackles, one sack and one forced fumble this season for the Broncos (0-4).
