The Carolina Panthers are without the services of Pro Bowl cornerback Jaycee Horn in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams. Any team would miss a player of his caliber, but it has quietly provided an opportunity for another defensive back to shine at long last.
That will be easier said than done against the Rams, who are looking to tighten their grip on the NFC's No. 1 seed. It's all hands on deck for the Panthers, and even though the injuries aren't ideal, head coach Dave Canales must roll with the punches as he looks to get a response from his players.
