Hubbard was instead observed running routes, shirtless, on a side field. This all but guarantees he will be listed as a non-participant on the official injury report released later in the day. Hubbard is on track to miss his second consecutive game this weekend, clearing the way for another high-volume workload for backup RB Rico Dowdle, who finished as the overall RB1 last week. While another chart-topping performance should not be expected, Dowdle belongs firmly locked into fantasy lineups against the Cowboys in Week 6.
