Carolina Panthers Summary

The Carolina Panthers faced a challenging week as they prepared for their upcoming game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Notably, three key offensive players missed practice on Wednesday, raising concerns about their availability for the game.

Ickey Ekwonu referred to his knee issue as day-to-day, which adds uncertainty to the Panthers' offensive lineup. Following a disappointing loss to the New Orleans Saints, the Panthers find themselves in a precarious position with playoff implications on the line, as PFF simulations indicate a 50% chance of reaching the playoffs with a win in Week 16.

Additionally, the Steelers have signed linebacker Jeremiah Moon off the Panthers' practice squad, further impacting the team's depth as they navigate the late season.
