The native of Bossier City, Louisiana, who was the Panthers’ second round pick, 59th overall, in the 2021 NFL Draft, had four catches for 48 yards in the Panthers’ 24-9 win over the Houston Texans on Thursday. Marshall Jr. now has 10 catches for 91 yards on the season, as the Panthers are 3-0.
4) Chuba Hubbard–Carolina Panthers
The Canadian running back who attended Oklahoma State, will get plenty of playing time in the weeks ahead with Christian McCaffrey out with a hamstring injury. On Thursday, Hubbard had 11 rushes for 52 yards, along with three catches for 27 yards. Hubbard now has 62 rushing yards and 31 receiving yards after three games.

The Panthers’ third round draft pick in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Notre Dame recorded his first NFL touchdown on Thursday. With McCaffrey out of the game, Tremble had a seven-yard rushing major which put the Panthers up 14-6. The tight end from Johns Creek, Georgia, also caught his first career NFL pass on a 30-yard reception from Carolina quarterback Sam Darnold.
