Tailback Miles Sanders among 5 Panthers out vs. Miami

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders won't play against the Miami Dolphins Sunday because of a shoulder injury, one of five Carolina players ruled out.

Chuba Hubbard and Laviska Shenault Jr. will carry the running game in his absence.

"We'll do it by committee, but Chuba will more than likely get the bulk of the carries,'' coach Frank Reich said on Friday.

The Panthers (0-5) also will be without both starting safeties -- Vonn Bell (quad) and Xavier Woods (hamstring) -- in addition to starting cornerback Jaycee Horn (hamstring, IR) against the NFL's highest scoring offense.
