Carolina Panthers
HC declines to name Rico Dowdle the starter
Chuba Hubbard likely close to return from calf injury
By: Doug Orth | Oct 13 2025, 11:30 pm

Has Rico Dowdle earned the right to be the #Panthers starting RB? Dave Canales: ‘’We’ll see.’’ (ESPN.com - David Newton)

FFToday's Take: Canales has little to gain by naming either running back (Chuba Hubbard or Dowdle) the starter six days ahead of the team's next game. More likely than not, Dowdle will get the nod in Week 7 against the Jets regardless of how healthy Hubbard is as the team likely tries to ease Hubbard back into the mix. If Dowdle can somehow eclipse 200 total yards of offense for the third straight game, Canales would likely be compelled to keep riding him. However, it is more likely this becomes a committee again at some point in the near future.
