Fiammetta out, Gamle doubtful

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers will be without Tony Fiammetta for Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers because of an ankle injury, so they promoted fellow fullback Rashawn Jackson from the practice squad to fill his role.

Cornerback Chris Gamble is doubtful with an ankle injury after missing practice Wednesday, meaning Captain Munnerlyn likely will start in his fifth consecutive game.

Defensive end Tyler Brayton practiced despite a sore hip and is questionable.

Jackson is an undrafted rookie from Virginia who spent training camp with Carolina. He'll be charged with opening holes for the Panthers' improved running game against the Steelers' top-rated run defense.

Running back Mike Goodson returned to practice after missing a day with an illness and is listed as probable.

So the #1 rated Fullback from this past years draft is going to be our starter tomorrow. I personally think he is better than rookie John Conner of the Jets.

Chris Gamble does live up to his name though, he has some good plays, but has bad plays which tells me that he gambles a bit when he covers. the injury to Fiammetta hurts though, he's a good run blocker.

I've actually been very impressed with fiametta this year. he's done a fine job run blocking.

That's true of most corners. If anything, I'd say Gamble is consistently good in coverage -- if you want to fault anyone with giving up a big play, look at Marshall or Godfrey.

I have too, and I actually thought Jackson was going to beat him out this year.

It took him some time to gel with the backs, but he's coming along nicely.

i think Godfrey is ok, the big plays are usually given up by either Marshall or Gamble, BUT i think we should keep Gamble, i just think it's funny that his name is Gamble.
