Chuba placed on injured reserve

Darn. 

 The Panthers placed running back Chuba Hubbard on injured reserve Saturday as a result of a calf injury.

Hubbard practiced on a limited basis Friday and was listed as questionable on the final injury report of the week.

But after practice, Hubbard complained of pain, and an MRI Friday night revealed a Grade 2 calf strain, which would have kept him out of the final two games.
