The Carolina Panthers key to victory

Well, it feels like a familiar store — doesn't it? The Carolina Panthers must make explosive plays if it aims to stay in a game featuring one of the more talented offenses in the league. 

Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has struggled to push the ball downfield in his two starts. With Andy Dalton playing in Week 3, big plays in the passing game felt easier to come by. With Young back in the fold, the Panthers can not let the 20-plus-yard throws fall by the wayside. 

Carolina Panthers notable injuries

  • RB Miles Sanders did not practice on Friday with a groin injury. He was a limited participant on Thursday and Wednesday. He is listed as questionable heading into Sunday. 
  • WR Jonathan Mingo is still dealing with a concussion. He did not practice on Friday. He was a limited participant on Thursday and Wednesday. He is listed as questionable heading into Sunday. 
  • LB Frankie Luvu is wrestling through a hip injury. He did not practice on Wednesday. And he was limited for the rest of the week. Currently, heading into Sunday Luvu is questionable. 
  • S Xavier Woods is listed as out. He is dealing with a hamstring injury. 

Carolina Panthers players to watch

  • QB Bryce Young: All week the Panthers have talked about the "energy" the No. 1 overall pick has had in practice. Come Sunday, it is finally time to put it to the test. Young is quickly falling behind other rookie quarterbacks in his class. And the Panthers must see a flash out of him. He needs to show that he can win at the NFL level, and fast. 
  • WR Adam Thielen: Week 4 is a revenge week for Thielen. He spent nine seasons with the Vikings. The 33-year-old receiver is coming off a big week in Week 3, he caught 11 passes for 145 yards and a touchdown. The Panthers will need him to be that version, again.
