The Week 5 outlook for Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is getting bleaker.
Hubbard, like on Wednesday, was listed as a non-participant for this afternoon’s practice. The fifth-year rusher has been dealing with a calf injury, which also limited his lead-up into last week’s outing against the New England Patriots.
Head coach Dave Canales spoke on Hubbard’s status following yesterday’s session.
“The calf needs more treatment. The calf needs more time,” Canales told reporters. “And so, we’re just taking it day to day with Chuba right now. We needed to get him a rest day today, not put him out there and try to get him on the other side of it.
“He was able to play, and still played at a high level—the way that we expected him to play, and ran the ball hard all the way through it. But coming out of it, we just didn’t feel like he wasn’t in a better spot coming out of the game than he was the week before. So we’re gonna treat that day to day.”
