The Carolina Panthers return to their home turf on Sunday night after their season opener against the Chicago Bears in Charlotte turned into a high-scoring affair that ended in defeat.
However, injuries have created several challenges for Carolina, leaving some starting-position players unavailable for the matchup. The Panthers will face the Detroit Lions in Week 4 as they look to secure their first home win of the season.
The Carolina Panthers have suffered a significant setback in Week 3 against Cleveland Browns, with the team confirming Wednesday that starting cornerback Mike Jackson has been placed on injured reserve.
Carolina is hoping to have the eighth-year defender back later in the season, according to ESPN senior NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler. “Panthers hoping to get Mike Jackson back some time in November,” Fowler posted on Wednesday after Jackson’s placement on injured reserve was confirmed.
