Panthers expect starting RB Chuba Hubbard to be ready for the regular season opener vs. Bears
Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is anticipated to be fit for the team's opening game against the Chicago Bears on September 13, according to coach Dave Canales. Hubbard, who underwent hamstring strain earlier in training camp, has yet to appear in a preseason game while recuperating. While Hubbard's speed is impressive, the team has been cautious about placing him in contact drills.
Hubbard, who ran for 1,195 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2024, is seen as a leader in the Panthers' team that won the NFC South last season. Hubbard expressed optimism about the upcoming season opener, stating he feels good and healthy.
