Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard (ankle) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
Hubbard was also limited on Wednesday and he remains on track to return for Week 9 versus the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. D'Onta Foreman is expected to remain the starter after last week's strong showing, but he will lose some touches if Hubbard is cleared to play. Prior to leaving in Week 7, Hubbard turned 11 touches into 73 yards and a touchdown.
The Bengals are allowing the seventh-fewest FanDuel points per game to the running back position this season and their run defense ranks 14th in numberFire's schedule-adjusted team metrics. Among the 77 running backs with at least 15 carries this season, Hubbard is averaging the most Rushing Net Expected Points per carry (0.36) while Foreman is 14th (0.16). Hubbard has a $6,100 salary on FanDuel's Main slate in Week 9.
