CHARLOTTE – Cornerback Charles Tillman is expected to miss his fourth consecutive game Sunday with a knee injury, but the Panthers are managing to find a silver lining in his absence.
"The nice thing is it gives the other guys opportunities to continue to get their feet wet, and it has allowed Cortland (Finnegan) to continue to work inside, too," head coach Ron Rivera said. "It’s been good as far that’s concerned, but it’s not good having Charles not available."
With Tillman out, Bene Benwikere has gained more experience at outside corner opposite Josh Norman.
