The Panthers could potentially face the Lions on Sunday without quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and running back Christian McCaffrey following their recent injuries.
Bridgewater suffered a knee injury late in the fourth quarter of the Panthers' 46–23 loss to the Buccaneers this weekend. On third-and-4th, the QB took a snap out of the shotgun and was sacked by Jason Pierre-Paul. Bridgewater left the game to be attended to in the medical tent.
According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, an MRI showed no structural damage in Bridgewater's right knee, although he is experiencing some soreness and swelling. His status for Sunday's game is uncertain.
