Hubbard Expected Ready for Panthers Week 1

Coach Dave Canales confirmed Monday that Hubbard is expected to be the starting running back with Jonathon Brooks as the second option. The duo will work in a committee approach to begin the year due to Hubbard's recovery from a strained hamstring.

Hubbard, who missed time last season with a calf injury, had 250 carries for 1,195 yards and 10 touchdowns in 15 starts during the 2024 season. Brooks, a second-round pick in 2024, is returning from a torn ACL and has just eight carries this preseason. mchezo.co.za
