The Carolina Panthers are facing their first big COVID-19 challenge of the 2020 season ahead of their Week 7 game at the New Orleans Saints.

As if taking on the New Orleans Saints on their travels wasn’t bad enough. The Carolina Panthers also have to deal with an extremely disrupted preparation for the contest thanks to the lingering impact COVID-19 is having across the league.

The Carolina Panthers have been incredibly cautious when it comes to safety measures, which has seen very few roster members either coming in contact with someone who has COVID-19, or contracting it themselves.
