The Carolina Panthers are gearing up for their most important game in years. And head coach Dave Canales hasn't given up hope of playing the final ace up his sleeve.
There was an enormous amount of excitement among the fan base when Robert Hunt's 21-day return window was opened last week. The Pro Bowl offensive lineman has been out of action since tearing his bicep in Week 2. Most fans thought this would be season-ending, but the Panthers' surge into playoff contention led the former Louisiana standout to strive to return sooner than expected.
