The injuries have stacked up this season for the New Orleans Saints, and the same has occurred for the Carolina Panthers. However, the injury report on Tuesday shows how bad this issue has truly become for both teams, as you could fill out a full 22-person starting roster with the injuries and have leftover depth to nearly hit a 53-man roster. Here is a look at that starting roster:
