Running back Chuba Hubbard was held out of Wednesday’s practice—the first session leading up to Sunday’s matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. The second-year rusher left the Week 7 victory in the fourth quarter after sustaining an ankle injury.
Hubbard accounted for 63 of Carolina’s 173 rushing yards against Tampa Bay. He also scored a 17-yard touchdown, his first of the season, in the third quarter.
