From the article

Hubbard's 2025 season got off to a somewhat quiet start, and then he had the misfortune of watching Dowdle rip off nearly 400 yards rushing during a two game absence for a calf injury. Hubbard struggled to work his way back and ceded the vast majority of backfield touches to Dowdle despite the latter drastically diminishing in effectiveness as the season went on. Hubbard reestablished himself as the superior back and was finally entrusted with the majority of touches in the playoff loss to the Rams.
