carolinas Panthers running indorse Rico Dowdle came into the hebdomad 5 biz against the Miami Dolphins on lord's day as a replacement for Chuba Hubbard. After the Panthers' last-minute 27-24 win, head coach Dave Canales will surely wonder if Dowdle should replace Hubbard as RB1 for good.
The 27-year-old finished the game with 23 carries for 206 yards to go with one touchdown in what has been one of his career-best performances. However, Carolina Panthers fans, and those fantasy managers who drafted Dowdle, were left concerned as he had to leave the field with an apparent injury.
Rico Dowdle left the game with an apparent injury to his leg. Based on the broadcast footage, it seemed that Dowdle's calf was hurt. Some reports claim that he was only suffering from cramps. As of now, Dowdle's injury does not seem major, and he was on the sidelines as the Panthers celebrated the epic victory over the Dolphins.
Thus, unless there is some major update in the presser later today, it seems that Dowdle will start for the Panthers again in Week 6 on October 12 as they take on the Dallas Cowboys at home at the Bank of America Stadium.

Speaking to reporters in the locker room after Sunday's game, Dowdle revealed that he is "looking forward" to welcoming the Cowboys in North Carolina.
"They got to buckle up. I think they know for sure," Dowdle told reporter David Newton. "I've been there five years. They didn't keep me there five years for no reason. I definitely say that.
"Look forward to playing with those guys next week," he added. "We'll get to it and handle that when we get there."
