The Carolina Panthers are facing significant injury concerns as they prepare for their Week 17 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Key starters, including cornerback Jaycee Horn and offensive tackle Taylor Moton, have been ruled out due to injuries. Horn is dealing with a hip issue and did not practice throughout the week, while Moton is sidelined with a knee problem. Additionally, linebacker Josey Jewell is also confirmed to be inactive for this critical game. Coach Dave Canales expressed hope for the return of some NFL starters but acknowledged the tough situation with several players doubtful or already out. The Panthers will need to adapt as they contend with these hurdles in their final matchup of the season.
