For the second straight day, Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard was held out of practice due to an ankle injury. The second-year rusher sustained the setback towards the end of Week 7’s stunning upset victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers—an outing in which he ran for 63 yards and a touchdown on nine carries.
As a bit of insurance, the Panthers signed undrafted rookie rusher John Lovett back to their practice squad. Linebacker Joel Iyiegbuniwe was released to make room for the addition.
