Panthers have a Week 5 breakout brewing and the league has no idea

It's a must-win game for the Carolina Panthers in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins. And it looks like head coach Dave Canales could be going into the game severely under strength.

The latest concerning issue surrounds running back Chuba Hubbard. He was dealing with a calf injury before last weekend's loss to the New England Patriots. The Oklahoma State product came out of the contest worse, and his lack of participation in practice on Wednesday and Thursday will prevent the backfield force from featuring at Bank of America Stadium.

The Panthers are justified in being extra cautious.
