The Carolina Panthers need everyone firing on all cylinders if they want to topple the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on home turf in Week 16. Unfortunately, head coach Dave Canales is dealing with troubling injuries to key personnel.
Not exactly ideal going into an NFC South title showdown, but Canales will have to make the best of things. After all, the margin for error evaporated after the Panthers suffered an embarrassing loss to the New Orleans Saints last time out.
Ikem Ekwonu was listed as questionable, and Canales plans to take things right up until the last moment before determining whether the left tackle will feature.
