Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard has dealt with a calf injury this season, resulting in him losing the starting job to RB Rico Dowdle. Hubbard admits that he rushed back “a little sooner than I should have.”
“I think, in all honesty, I’m a competitor and when I came back from my calf, I wasn’t maybe quite where I wanted to be,” Hubbard said, via PanthersWire. “Obviously, in the league, you’re never gonna be 100 percent. I just wanna be there for my team. So maybe rushed it back a little sooner than I should have—which is my own doing.”
Hubbard mentioned that he had a “few different” complications with his calf, but feels like things have improved.
“I kinda had, not to get into the details of what exactly was going on with my calf, but I had a few different things going on with it,” Hubbard said. “And it was just kinda hard to explain some of the stuff that I was dealing with. But over the last few weeks, it’s definitely gotten better and just kinda continue to build my confidence off that.”
