Update: Defensive tackle Kawann Short wasn’t spotted at practice today either Jarius Wright Jersey , which could be bad for the Panthers’ defensive line with edge rusher Bruce Irvin still battling a hamstring injury that has kept him out of the first two games of the season.If Short is unable to play, there’s a chance that Vernon Butler could make his season debut.Panthers injury reportDid not participate in practiceS Rashaan Gaulden (groin)OL Brandon Greene (neck)EDGE Bruce Irvin (hamstring)QB Cam Newton (foot)DT Kawann Short (shoulder)Limited participation in practiceN/AFull participation in practiceTE Greg Olsen (back)<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="ZCYQin">Practice StatusDid not participate in practice = 0% of a player’s normal repetitionsLimited participation in practice = Less than 100% of a player’s normal repetitionsFull participation in practice = 100% of a player’s normal repetitionsGame StatusOut = Player will not playDoubtful = Player unlikely to playQuestionable = Uncertain if player will play<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="kkM3xx">The Carolina Panthers are practicing ahead of their Week 3 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals, and franchise quarterback Cam Newton is once again not participating. This is the third straight day Newton has missed practice after re-aggravating his sprained foot last Thursday night against theTampa Bay Buccaneers https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Da_Norris-Searcy-Jersey , so it’s all but certain that he will not suit up on Sunday. Backup quarterback Kyle Allen is expected to start in Cam’s place.There’s currently no timetable for Cam’s return but we can be sure that — despite the fact that Ron Rivera hasn’t officially ruled him out — it’s likely he’ll miss at least one game. It would be different if he’d only missed one practice this week (he rarely practiced every day last season as the team tried to give his shoulder rest during the week). If that were the case there would be a good chance that he could play, but considering that the Panthers had a long weekend due to their Thursday Night Football game in Week 2 and we still haven’t seen Cam on the practice field, it’s safe to assume that he won’t be out there on Sunday.Stay tuned as we’ll have the rest of today’s injury report when it’s available.

That’s the most road wins through Week Eight in NFL history. Since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, there’s never been a season in which road teams won more games than home teams.What can explain that? It could just be random variation https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com , which will correct itself in the long run. It also could be that crowd noise is less of an advantage as attendance declines along the NFL, or that teams are getting better at adjusting their travel plans so that the road is becoming an easier place to play.Among the teams that have played better on the road than at home: The Bills are 3-0 on the road and 2-2 at home, the Browns are 2-2 on the road and 0-3 at home Carolina Panthers Customized Jerseys , the Chiefs are 4-0 on the road and 1-3 at home, the Seahawks are 4-0 on the road and 2-2 at home and the Panthers are 3-1 on the road and 1-2 at home.Last season road teams went 101-153-2.
