DENVER, CO — Broncos' 2018 first round pick Bradley Chubb has a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season, according to an ESPN senior NFL insider.

Chubb briefly left the field after an injury during Sunday's game against the Jaguars, but returned before the game was over.

The 23-year-old linebacker's injury is another blow to the struggling Broncos, which began the season with four straight close losses.
