Panthers Week 3 injury report: Starting DL Shy Tuttle doubtful vs. Raiders
The Carolina Panthers may have even more troubling defending the run.
Friday's injury report for this weekend's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders lists starting nose tackle Shy Tuttle as doubtful. Tuttle missed the entire of week practice due to a foot injury.
If Tuttle is indeed out, the Panthers will be missing two of their three opening-day starters on the defensive line—as Pro Bowler Derrick Brown is already shut down for the remainder of the campaign due to a torn meniscus. Oh, and they could possibly be down all three, as A'Shawn Robinson has been deemed questionable with a knee issue.
Carolina is currently carrying three other defensive linemen on their active roster (Nick Thurman, LaBryan Ray and Jayden Peevy) and two on their practice squad (DeShawn Williams and T.J. Smith).
Here's the team's final injury report for Week 3:
Injury | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Game status | |
