Panthers Say Chuba Hubbard Is Day-to-Day With Calf Injury as Practice Absences Mount

Carolina will monitor his treatment, with Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne or DeeJay Dallas available if needed.

Overview

  • Head coach Dave Canales said Hubbard is being managed day to day after he did not participate in Wednesday’s walk-through.
  • Hubbard reportedly missed practice again on Thursday, marking a second straight day sidelined this week.
  • Canales offered no timetable, saying the calf “needs more treatment” and the team opted to rest him rather than push reps.
  • The running back played through the same issue last week against the Patriots, logging 10 carries for 49 yards.
  • Through early October, Hubbard has 53 rushes for 217 yards and 13 receptions for 94 yards with two touchdowns, while backups Dowdle, Etienne and Dallas are in line to handle snaps if necessary.
