Adam Schefter has reported that the Carolina Panthers are placing running back Chuba Hubbard on injured reserve due to calf and knee injuries, effectively concluding his 2024 season.

At just 25 years old, Hubbard was drafted by the Panthers in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft after a successful college career at Oklahoma State.

He originally signed a four-year, $4.2 million rookie contract and later extended his deal with a four-year contract worth $33.2 million back in November, which was a testament to his development and performance.

During the 2024 season, Hubbard made a significant impact, appearing in 15 games where he rushed for 1,195 yards on 250 attempts (4.8 yards per carry) and scored 10 touchdowns. Additionally, he contributed in the passing game with 43 receptions for 171 yards and a touchdown.
