Hubbard Ready, Sanders’ Role in Question | Carolina Panthers News

Carolina Panthers coach Frank Canales dropped a major update: Chuba Hubbard is ahead of schedule in his hamstring recovery and expected to be ready for Week One. Hubbard himself confirmed he’s feeling great, with the team just being cautious after overexerting himself last season. Meanwhile, Miles Sanders has shown flashes in practice but hasn’t dominated preseason — raising questions about the backfield rotation. Canales outlined a clear plan: Hubbard and Sanders will split carries, with one leading early downs and the other handling third downs for protection. This balanced approach manages workload and leverages both players’ strengths. With Hubbard returning from a 1,000-yard season and Sanders needing to prove his health, the Panthers have a solid foundation — if they stay injury-free.
