The Carolina Panthers managed to survive last week after dominating much of the game against Dallas but ultimately needed a late strip-sack of quarterback Dak Prescott to secure the victory. Unfortunately, Carolina suffered numerous injuries in the win with two key contributors now sidelined moving forward.
Tight end Greg Olsen injured the same foot which caused him to miss nine games last season and right tackle Daryl Williams suffered another knee injury, although it wasn’t related to his previous condition. Both are expected to miss a significant amount of time.
Atlanta kicked off the season at defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia in a sloppy game that also came down to the wire.
