Injuries beginning to take their toll on the Panthers’ secondary, offensive line
The Carolina Panthers are struggling with injuries affecting their secondary and offensive line, leading to two consecutive losses and a tie for first place in the NFC South. Defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero was fired after the team allowed Jordan Love to throw for 288 yards and three touchdowns in a loss to the Green Bay Packers.
Starting cornerbacks Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson are out with injuries, and their replacements have also been injured. On the offensive line, the Panthers are without three starters, and Bryce Young has faced constant pressure from the opposing defense. Coach Dave Canales acknowledges the need for the team to work together and make improvements.
Running back Chuba Hubbard has been a bright spot, gaining 81 yards on 22 carries and catching seven passes for 38 yards against the Packers. The team has 10 days to regroup before facing the Denver Broncos on November 8.
