Panthers' Chuba Hubbard Day-to-Day With Calf Injury After Missing Wednesday Work
No timetable was provided, with Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne and DeeJay Dallas positioned to handle carries.
Overview
- Head coach Dave Canales said Hubbard is day-to-day after a calf issue kept him out of Wednesday’s walk-through and the media-viewed portion of practice.
- Canales said the calf “needs more treatment” and offered no return timeline beyond the day-to-day designation.
- Hubbard played through the same injury last week after being listed as questionable, logging 10 carries for 49 yards against the Patriots.
- Through early October, he has 53 rushing attempts for 217 yards and 13 receptions for 94 yards with two touchdowns.
- If Hubbard cannot go this week, Carolina has Rico Dowdle, rookie Trevor Etienne and recently promoted DeeJay Dallas available at running back.
