It's a testament to the Carolina Panthers' improved depth that they have been able to navigate some troubling injury problems without much fuss this season. That was the objective of general manager Dan Morgan during his second recruitment period at the helm, and the encouraging progress through seven games speaks for itself.
No team ever gets a clear run of luck on the health front. The NFL is a violent business, but the Panthers have been able to minimize complications by finding the right backup pieces and making sure they are all ready to step in at a moment's notice.
