Carolina Panthers WR Jimmy Horn Jr. finished with a single 1-yard catch on his only target in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers, and he had a 7-yard rush on his only attempt.
Link to storyCarolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker, TE Ja'Tavion Sanders and WR Brycen Tremayne each ended up with a single reception on one target each in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers. Coker had a 9-yard grab, Sanders had a 5-yard catch and Tremayne ended up with an 8-yard reception.
Link to storyCarolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette (concussion) finished with just one catch and 22 yards on three targets in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers. He left the game to be checked for concussion, but he was able to return and finish up.
Link to storyCarolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan ended up with four receptions for a team-best 46 yards on six targets in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers.
| Footballguys view: McMillan's weekly ceiling isn't going to be as high as long as Rico Dowdle is carrying the offense and finishing most of the touchdown drives. The rookie #1 receiver is still a WR3/Flex play with upside against an easier opponent when the Saints come to Charlotte next week. | 
Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard rushed five times for just 17 yards in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers, and he did not have a catch on just a single target.

Carolina Panthers RB Rico Dowdle rushed 25 times for 130 yards and two touchdowns in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers, and he added two receptions for 11 yards on three targets.
| Footballguys view: Dowdle left the game briefly after limping to the sideline, but showed no ill effects from the issue for the remainder of the game. Head coach Dave Canales did not install any form of a committee in this one, making Dowdle the clear lead back, and Dowdle responded with a dominant game on the ground the way he did in his two previous starts. Dowdle is a borderline RB1 and must play against the Saints in Week 10. |

Carolina Panthers OG Chandler Zavala (knee) was activated from the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Nov. 1.
Link to storyCarolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette (illness) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 31, and is not on the injury report for Week 9.
| Footballguys view: It's been a disappointing year for Legette, who has scored just twice amidst injuries. His biggest game came in Week 7, when Andy Dalton stepped in and built on the connection they had developed last year. He makes for a hazardous flex play in deep leagues. | 
Carolina Panthers OL Cade Moays (ankle, knee) and DE Princely Umanmielen (ankle) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers. QB Andy Dalton (thumb), OT Taylor Moton (knee), and LB Trevin Wallace (shoulder) were limited in practice on Friday, Oct. 31, and are listed as questionable. G Damien Lewis (oblique), S Nick Scott (groin), and G Chandler Zavala (knee) practiced in full on Friday and are listed as questionable. DE Derrick Brown (knee), WR Jimmy Horn Jr. (shoulder), Wr Xavier Legette (illness), and QB Bryce Young (ankle) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.

Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) carries no injury designation for Week 9 and will return.
| Footballguys view: Young has been practicing in full all week, and there's no expectation that his ankle isn't good to go for this matchup. Young has had a quiet season, eclipsing 300 yards in just one game this year. The Panthers' running game has found its groove, but they'll have a tough matchup this weekend against a stout Packers defense. |

Carolina Panthers QB Mike White was signed from the practice squad to the active roster Thursday, Oct. 30. OL Brady Christensen (Achilles) was placed on the Reserve/Injuredl list.
Link to storyCarolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard has rotated with RB Rico Dowdle in two games since returning from a calf injury. Head coach Dave Canales appears ready to abandon the rotation in favor of Dowdle. 'Chuba has meant a lot to this organization and certainly to the identity of what we want to build and we wanted to give him the opportunity to go out there and to continue to impact our team in a positive way,' Canales said Tuesday, Oct. 28. 'But we cannot ignore the fact Rico has been exceptional.'
| Footballguys view: Hubbard is not as explosive as Dowdle is, and the team has to recognize that. We still see Hubbard having flex appeal for the Panthers if/when Dowdle takes over in the backfield. |

Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Oct. 29.
| Footballguys view: Young is considered day-to-day with this ankle injury. A full participation on Wednesday is a good sign for his return in Week 9. Andy Dalton started last week and was not great, so Young's return will be welcomed by the Panthers. Let's make sure Young doesn't have any setbacks in practice this week. |

Carolina Panthers RB Rico Dowdle appears to be in line for a bulk of the carries, and head coach Dave Canales indicated that the two-week rotation with RB Chuba Hubbard could be abandoned. 'We love tempo and violence that he is running with,' Canales said Tuesday, Oct. 28. 'These are things we are looking back on the last four games and really taking a snapshot of what has been successful for us.'
| Footballguys view: Dowdle is producing more than Chuba Hubbard, and the Panthers are moving to adjust their plan. That means Dowdle could be in line for more work, and Hubbard will serve more as a reserve. Keeping that in mind, Fantasy GMs should consider Dowdle an RB2/flex option and Hubbard as a RB3/deep flex play. |

Carolina Panthers QB Hendon Hooker reverted back to the practice squad Monday, Oct. 27, after being on the active roster for the Week 8 game.

The Panthers moved Chuba Hubbard back into the starting lineup when the running back returned from a calf strain in Week 7, but Rico Dowdle may be returning to the role he filled while Hubbard was out. On Monday, head coach Dave Canales said that Dowdle has been "exceptional" and that conversations about how to handle the timeshare in the backfield will "definitely" be taking place in the coming days. "We cannot ignore the fact that Rico has made an impact when he's been out there. So these are things that we're talking through as a staff, and we'll make that decision as the week goes on."
| Footballguys view: Dowdle ran eight times for 54 yards in Sunday's loss to the Bills, while Hubbard had 12 carries for 34 yards and a touchdown. Dowdle also led the team in rushing in Week 7, and he posted 472 yards from scrimmage in his two starts earlier this season. The Panthers fell to 4-4 with Sunday's loss, and they'll hope to have quarterback Bryce Young back with Dowdle and Hubbard for their Week 9 road game against the Packers. We'll continue to watch for more. | 
Rico Dowdle player page
Though he missed Sunday's loss to the Bills, Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is getting closer to returning from an ankle injury. Head coach Dave Canales provided an update on the quarterback during his Monday press conference. "With Bryce, [he's] just getting better every day," Canales said. "Had a good session running today in return-to-play. The goal is to get him out there on Wednesday, move him around, see if we can get him into practice in a mode. So, I'm optimistic he'll be out there. But we're going to take it day-to-day with him."
| Footballguys view: Young suffered the injury during the Week 7 win over the Jets. As PFT noted, Andy Dalton played poorly in his start against Buffalo yesterday, finishing 16-of-24 for 175 yards with an interception and two lost fumbles. In his third season, Young has completed 62 percent of his throws for 1,288 yards with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions so far in 2025. He's also rushed for 69 yards with a TD. The Panthers will be on the road to face the Packers in Week 9. |

Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers OL Brady Christensen (Achilles) suffered a significant Achilles injury in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills, and he is likely out for the year, head coach David Canales said Sunday, Oct. 26.

Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette ended up with two receptions for 17 yards on three targets in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills.
| Footballguys view: One week after a career game, Legette's most impactful contribution to this game was a holding penalty that took the team out of the red zone on their first scoring drive, which only amounted to a field goal. He's not an essential hold heading into a tough matchup against Green Bay. | 
Carolina Panthers TE Ja'Tavion Sanders posted three receptions for 19 yards on three targets in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills.
Link to storyCarolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker posted three receptions for 36 yards on four targets in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills.
Link to storyCarolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan posted a career-high seven receptions for 99 yards on 10 targets in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills, just missing his second career 100-yard game.
| Footballguys view: Andy Dalton at least made good on his reputation for feeding his #1 receiver in this lopsided loss. McMillan probably isn't going to hit his ceiling this season with uneven quarterback play to date, but he has looked like a real NFL #1 receiver as a rookie and surely has a bright future. His value will be a little higher next week against the Packers if Dalton starts, but Panthers fans should be rooting for Bryce Young to be healthy enough to play. | 
Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard rushed 12 times for just 34 yards in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills, although he did have a rushing touchdown. He was targeted once, but ended up with zero receptions, too.
| Footballguys view: Hubbard's garbage time touchdown at least gave fantasy teams something for their trouble, but he was outshined by Rico Dowdle again in this game. The blowout game flow got Hubbard on the field more than Dowdle, but the Panthers have to see what we are seeing. Hubbard is only bench depth against the Packers next week and may not be startable for the rest of the season unless Dowdle gets hurt. | 
Chuba Hubbard player page
Carolina Panthers RB Rico Dowdle rushed eight times for a team-best 54 yards in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills, while he was not targeted in the passing game.
| Footballguys view: Dowdle was clearly the more effective Panthers back again, but Andy Dalton's miscues and the defensive failings against James Cook and Khalil Shakir denied the running back and running game a chance to get in a groove. Chuba Hubbard was on the field a lot more than Dowdle in the blowout loss game script, and he got the garbage time touchdown. Don't drop Dowdle, but if Dalton starts again at Green Bay next week, it's probably best to keep him on your bench if you can. |

Carolina Panthers QB Andy Dalton completed 16-of-24 passes for 175 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills, while running twice for one yard with two lost fumbles.
| Footballguys view: Dalton looked like a quarterback who is in the December of his career. His turnovers and mistakes made it impossible for the Panthers to be competitive with the Bills in Week 8. Bryce Young's practice status becomes more important for the 4-4 team heading into a game at Green Bay. The Packers D/ST might be worth picking up either way. |

| Footballguys view: It's a high-ankle sprain for Young, and those can take a few weeks to properly heal. Andy Dalton is starting in Week 8 for the Panthers. We'll see what Young can do in practice next week. |
