RB Austin Ekeler (Commanders) will work out for the Carolina Panthers Wednesday, according to KPRC 2's Aaron Wilson.
Why it Matters: The Panthers lost Jonathon Brooks for multiple weeks due to a core injury, which means Chuba Hubbard is the lead back. Ekeler, 31, hasn't played since tearing his Achilles early in the 2025 season. He has been an accomplished receiving back and should be picked up in PPR formats if he lands the gig.
