Chuba Hubbard Back For Week 7

Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (calf) will play against the Jets this weekend, HC Dave Canales said Friday. Hubbard practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so it seems like that calf issue is behind him. The question now is how work will be divvied between he and RB Rico Dowdle. Hubbard operated as the clear lead back over the first four games of the season, but Dowdle racked up a whopping 473 total yards with Hubbard out the last two weeks. It's tough to put that back in the bottle. We're tentatively expecting Dowdle to lead a committee attack vs. the Jets but will look for more updates on Carolina's plans.
