Panthers Set to Face Off with Depleted Dolphins

Rico Dowdle will replace Hubbard as starting running back in Sunday’s game after Hubbard’s calf injury limited him to 217 rushing yards this season, coach said.

  • On Sunday, Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard will miss the game against the Miami Dolphins with a calf injury, coach Dave Canales confirmed.
  • After playing last week at New England, Chuba Hubbard played through his calf injury with a reduced workload, then missed practice Wednesday and Thursday as Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said he needed rest.
  • Rico Dowdle will start in Hubbard's place, with Trevor Etienne and DeeJay Dallas serving as backups, after Dowdle eclipsed 1,000 yards last season with the Dallas Cowboys.
  • Losing Hubbard strips coach Dave Canales of a key offensive weapon as the Panthers' offense struggles, intensifying scrutiny after the 42-13 loss in New England.
  • The Dolphins enter Sunday riding momentum from their first win of the season, and McDaniel said `Tyreek brings a lot of juice and energy and competitive spirit to an offense and to our team when he's on the field.
