It’s no secret that the Carolina Panthers are banged up heading into Sunday’s contest against the Atlanta Falcons. Fortunately for the Panthers, the Falcons are experiencing injuries of their own. Most notably, tight end Austin Hooper and running back Devonta Freeman will be a “longshot” to play per a report from Panthers.com.
That is definitely a big development. Hooper has been an asset for the passing game. On the season, the tight end has recorded 56 catches for 608 yards and six touchdowns. His best game of the season came on September 29 game against the Tennessee Titans.
