Carolina Panthers fans were growing increasingly concerned about Chuba Hubbard's availability in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins. The latest insider revelation confirmed their worst fears.
Hubbard has been dealing with a calf injury. He toughed it out against the New England Patriots, but it came at a cost. Head coach Dave Canales revealed that the problem is worsening, not improving. And the player's lack of involvement over the first two days of practice this week didn't exactly bode well for his chances of featuring at Bank of America Stadium.
The Panthers' signing of running back DeeJay Dallas from the practice squad to the active roster was another indication that Hubbard's status was in doubt.
