CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — As the Carolina Panthers were preparing to make their pick in the fourth round of this past April’s draft, coach Matt Rhule received an unexpected text message from his wife. It read: “Please take Chuba Hubbard!” A few minutes later, Hubbard was a member of the Panthers. On Sunday, the Panthers will get an extended look at Hubbard. He’s expected to get his first NFL start against the Dallas Cowboys with Christian McCaffrey out for a few weeks with a hamstring injury.
