Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard aggravated his calf injury in Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots, according to Head Coach Dave Canales.  Hubbard who was questionable entering Week 4, played 51 percent of snaps but “Came out of the game with the calf worse than at this point last week,” Canales said.  He is considered day-to-day.

Hubbard is currently ranked RB15 on the season but has struggled to match his production from last year’s strong start.  He has averaged 4.08 yards per carry through four games but has yet to score a rushing touchdown, with his only two scores coming through the air.

The Panthers face Miami Dolphins in Week 5, and Hubbard’s status remains uncertain, for that I am benching him.  You don’t want to have the same thing as last week happen, where he only played half the game and aggravate it again.  If he does play expect RB30 finish on the week.
