Denver Broncos linebacker Bradley Chubb is determined to return this NFL season after re-injuring his ankle in Sunday's 23-13 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Broncos confirmed that the Pro Bowl outside linebacker Chubb will undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his ankle on Wednesday after being assisted off the field on Sunday.

The 25-year-old had been battling a bone spur in his ankle and has now opted for surgery to "clean it up", meaning he will be sidelined for the "foreseeable future".

"I'm going to push everything I can to get back to these games and hopefully it's sooner rather than later," Chubb said.

"My mindset is just going to be attack it 100 per cent every day."

Chubb's timeframe to return will be determined by how the surgery goes, but he is determined to get back this season.

The 2018 Draft fifth pick missed the Broncos' Week 1 game due to the ankle issue as the team's medical staff took a conservative approach, trying to avoid surgery.

"I did everything I could to manage it and to try to come back and play," Chubb said. "The thing [to do] is now just to go in, clean it up and be right back.

"I know these guys are going to do everything they can to make that playoff push, and I'm going to be right there with them.

"We're 2-0 … and I know these guys are doing everything they can to keep that win streak going. I just wish I could be a part of it. But I know I'm going to be back on the back end of it and making that playoff push. I'm excited about that."

The linebacker posted 12 sacks in his rookie season in 2018, but injuries have curtailed his progress leaving him frustrated.

Chubb missed two games in 2020 with an injured right ankle, as well as 12 in 2019 with a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
