Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (shoulder), linebacker Thomas Davis(hamstring), wide receiver Devin Funchess (toe), tight end Greg Olsen (foot) did not participate while quarterback Cam Newton (thumb/shoulder) was limited in practice. According to head coach Ron Rivera, McCaffrey's shoulder is sore from taking a hit and cornerback Daryl Worley's foot is also sore.

Honestly none of ours seem too serious or like that big of a deal. Aints could be without Lattimore again, the other corner Crowley and more importantly Terron Armstead--without Zack Strief healthy either (he played in Armstead's place our first meeting, the next man up is way worse than those two). Lattimore and Armstead are game changers while Crowley is solid, if any of those 3 is out that's big. Seems likely Armstead is out as they just signed a OT I believe, and will probably be without one of the two corners.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
