The Carolina Panthers are facing significant challenges in their backfield following the re-injury of Jonathon Brooks, who will miss the remainder of this season and most of the next. With injuries piling up, Chuba Hubbard is left as the primary running back, but concerns about overworking him are rising.

With Miles Sanders on Injured Reserve and Raheem Blackshear hospitalized, the depth chart is alarmingly thin. Mike Boone is now positioned as the backup, but the Panthers may need to explore the free agent market for additional help.
