The Carolina Panthers’ promising season for running back Chuba Hubbard has come to an unfortunate end. Sources confirmed that Hubbard, who rushed for 1,195 yards this season, is being placed on injured reserve today due to a calf and knee injury.
Hubbard, who has been a standout for the Panthers this season, emerged as a key contributor in their offensive scheme. His ability to consistently gain yards and be a reliable playmaker had made him one of the team’s brightest stars. However, the injuries to his calf and knee have forced the team to make the tough decision to place him on IR, sidelining him for the remainder of the season.
Despite his injury, Hubbard’s season is regarded as a significant achievement, both for his individual performance and the way he helped lead the Panthers’ rushing attack. With Hubbard unavailable for the rest of the year, the Panthers will now rely on other running backs to fill the void and keep the ground game effective as they look to close out the season on a high note.
Hubbard’s injury is a tough blow to the Panthers, but his 2024 season has shown his potential as a top-tier running back.
