CHARLOTTE -- The primaries are over.
CHARLOTTE -- Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Hackett will miss this week's game, and perhaps several more, after suffering a sprained medial collateral ligament in last week's win over Kansas City.
CHARLOTTE -- Normally, playing without one starting offensive tackle would be an issue. Missing both would be a death sentence.
CHARLOTTE -- Carolina Panthers wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad's aging, but he's aging well.
CHARLOTTE -- As frightening as it was, Panthers left tackle Jordan Gross still considers himself lucky.
CHARLOTTE — At face value, things are just peachy for the Carolina Panthers.
