The Panthers are still without Michael Oher. At this point we have to start wondering if we've seen the last of him in a Panthers uniform. Ryan Kalil will miss his second straight game with a shoulder injury, and Gino Gradkowski will once again start in his absence. If anything were to happen to Gradkowski, Chris Scott would come in as the backup center. Shaq Thompson is also out this week and A.J. Klein will start in his place.
Despite missing two starters on the offensive line, the Panthers do get a bit of a break as the Chiefs will be without two of their best defensive players.
