The Cleveland Browns picked up an exciting win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday afternoon, but the victory came with a cost.

Star RB Nick Chubb — the former Georgia running back — was injured when a Dallas defender rolled up on his leg during a play.

Now, the Browns have announced via their team website that Chubb has been placed on injured reserve. This year, IR only means you have to miss 3 games before returning.

Don’t expect him to return when 3 weeks are up, though. Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Chubb is expected to miss about 6 weeks and could return in November:

Chubb had 335 rushing yards at the time of his injury, good for second in the NFL. He was tied for second in the league with 4 rushing touchdowns.

His loss will hurt the Browns, but it does sound like he can come back in time for the stretch run.
