Panthers | Rico Dowdle to handle early downs?

Carolina Panthers RB Rico Dowdle will be utilized heavily on early downs, but the Panthers intend to use both he and RB Chuba Hubbard in a balanced rushing attack, according to head coach Dave Canales. ‘And for Rico, you know, giving him the lion’s share of some of those first and second down, those early series and all that is a great way to just get him the ball.’
