Who should start? Panthers face tough decision with RBs Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard
Rico Dowdle set franchise records with 473 yards and two touchdowns in two games while Chuba Hubbard recovers from injury and could return this week.
- Coach Dave Canales faces a choice whether to keep Rico Dowdle as starter once Chuba Hubbard returns, who earned a four-year, $33 million contract after nearly 1,200 yards and 10 touchdowns.
- Two weeks ago, Rico Dowdle stepped in and totaled 473 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns in two outings, including 206 rushing yards in a win over the Miami Dolphins.
- Offensive-Line injuries forced adjustments, and the Panthers rushed for 455 yards despite losing Robert Hunt and Austin Corbett and missing Taylor Moton on Sunday.
- Carolina can move above.500 on Sunday with a victory at the winless New York Jets, a position they have not held this late since Nov. 3, 2019.
- Looking at roster trends, the Panthers also face ball-security issues as seven of Bryce Young's eight turnovers have come before halftime.
