The Carolina Panthers should be brimming with confidence heading into their Week 4 game against the New England Patriots. An unfortunate injury to one established presence could also mean a potential breakout is brewing that the AFC East club won't see coming.
Carolina's emphatic win over the Atlanta Falcons to begin their campaign came at a cost. Rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan is dealing with a calf issue that head coach Dave Canales said was day-to-day. The outlook is bleaker for second-year tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders, who is expected to miss multiple weeks after suffering a high ankle sprain.
