The Panthers had 14 players on today’s injury report, and perhaps the most concerning is backup center Tyler Larsen. It’s concerning because starting center Ryan Kalil is also on the injury report and has missed the last three games with a ‘sore neck’.
Greg Van Roten took over snapping duties in practice today, so we’ll have to keep a close eye on this situation as the week progresses just in case both Larsen and Kalil are unable to suit up against Detroit.
Julius Peppers was given a vet day off again, and honestly they can just keep doing that for the rest of the season if he continues to dominate the way he has so far this year.
