The Carolina Panthers are getting healthier. This raises competition for places, but it's a nice problem for head coach Dave Canales to have after weathering a fierce storm earlier in the campaign.
There are some fascinating dynamics for Panthers fans to monitor. This bears special significance in the running back room, which took a seismic shift over the last fortnight thanks to the exceptional emergence of Rico Dowdle.
When Chuba Hubbard was forced to miss Carolina's game against the Miami Dolphins, Dowdle picked up the slack en route to more than 200 rushing yards.
