According to the Carolina Panthers beat writer for the Charlotte Observer, Joe Person, Carolina will be without center Ryan Kalil and linebacker Luke Kuechly, as well as defensive end Mario Addison.
The losses of Kalil and Kuechly are absolutely devastating for the Panthers, and on the flip side, are huge breaks for the Raiders.
Kalil is a perennial pro bowler and a multiple time All-Pro — he’s undoubtedly one of the best centers in the NFL. And Kuechly is arguably the best linebacker in the league. He’s a monster against the run and he’s also one of the best coverage LBs in the game.
