While questions persist about Georgia RB Nick Chubb’s knee, there’s nothing wrong with his arms.

That’s clear in a photo released by Aaron Feld, the Bulldogs’ assistant director of strength and conditioning, in a tweet on Friday showing (from left) Chubb, Feld himself, OG Isaiah Wynn, OLB Tommy Long and FB Glenn Welch.

Let’s say a prayer for those defenders on the receiving end of a stiff-arm from Chubb this coming season.

Chubb is coming off a season in which he had 92 carries for 747 yards and 7 TDs before going down with his left knee injury against Tennessee on Oct. 10 and missed the team’s final seven games.

The 5-foot-10 220-pounder had rushed for at least 120 yards in every game up until the injury.

While the star seems ahead of schedule on his recovery, coach Kirby Smart was cautious about saying he’d be ready for Georgia’s season opener against North Carolina on Sept. 3.

“I am not a SME (Subject Matter Expert) on knee injuries,” Smart told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Seth Emerson in a story on Wednesday. “So I don’t know if that guy is going to be back or not,” Smart said. “Do I want him to be back? Yes. But it’s hard to say with where he is now whether he’ll be back or not.”
