The Carolina Panthers are facing significant challenges as second-round pick Jonathon Brooks is set to miss another season due to a torn ACL, following an unsuccessful 2024 rookie campaign. This leaves Chuba Hubbard as the primary running back, who had a solid 2024, rushing for 1,195 yards and scoring 10 touchdowns. However, the depth behind him is concerning, especially given Miles Sanders' underwhelming performance since joining the team. Speculation arises around potentially acquiring veteran Nick Chubb to bolster the running game in light of Brooks' uncertain recovery.
