Nick Chubb has announced his retirement from the NFL at the age of 30, ending a career that began with Hall of Fame-level potential but was heavily affected by injuries. The former Cleveland Browns running back said he was retiring on his own terms and in good health, after refusing to let a serious 2023 injury be the final chapter of his career.

Chubb revealed the decision in an Instagram farewell message, describing it as something he had avoided for some time. His retirement follows a career in which he was regarded as one of the league’s most dominant running backs before the 2023 injury disrupted his trajectory.
