CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) The Carolina Panthers weren't certain where their pass rush would come from after defensive end Charles Johnson went down with a hamstring injury.
Kawann Short has helped answer that question.
The third-year defensive tackle has stepped up, providing an inside pass rush for unbeaten Carolina. Short has five sacks in the past two games and on Thursday was named NFC defensive player of the month for October.
''He definitely shows up on film,'' said Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, who'll face the Panthers on Monday night.
