The Panthers were without five players on Wednesday, as they began their preparations for Sunday's game against the Rams.

With the Rams on deck, the Panthers secondary looks for answers with multiple starters sidelined. It makes for an interesting matchup, pitting a veteran QB against a young defense.

After only getting nine carries combined from their backs last week, the Panthers know that getting the run game going is the key to getting back to where they want to be.

The Panthers signed a linebacker and a cornerback to the 53, promoting Krys Barnes from the practice squad and signed cornerback Robert Rochell off the Cowboys practice squad.

The Falcons defeated the Saints, while both the Bucs and Panthers fell in their prime time games, keeping the division standings the same. Now teams await word on injuries.

There were no changes to the Panthers' depth chart ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Rams.

Dave Canales said they were working through multiple scenarios in terms of how to adjust for the suspension of Tre'von Moehrig, and how to get better balance offensively.

The rookie cornerback is heading to IR after leaving Monday's loss to the 49ers, and will need surgery.

The former Clemson star was added to the practice squad for depth at linebacker, as they have a number of injuries there.

The Panthers safety was suspended for a week for his altercation with 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings. He has the right to appeal.
