Panthers vs Falcons: The lay of the land
In what will be their second meeting in under 3 weeks, the Panthers will host the Falcons for ‘Thursday Night Football’ at the Bank of America Stadium. These two NFC South rivals are on different sides of the spectrum at the moment, with Atlanta sitting on a 4-5 record, while the Panthers are currently last in the division on 2-7. With that said, both teams are coming off losses in their last games, so it goes without saying that they’ll be looking to get back to winning ways. Where the Falcons are concerned, they suffered a close three-point loss to the Chargers in Week 9. As for the Panthers, they’re currently on a two-game slip and were blown away by the Bengals in their last outing 42-21. Regarding injuries, both teams will be able to rely on the services of their key playmakers, however, there are some important defensive players that won’t be available. Let’s take a look:

Panthers injury report: Week 10

Panthers vs Falcons: The Conclusion
In truth, there hasn’t been much movement in terms of who’s in and who’s out where both teams are concerned. Given that it’s a short week, there really hasn’t been enough time. On the other hand, the one notable factor is that Cordarrelle Patterson was not included in the injury report, so you can expect to see him used with greater frequency. Then of course, there’s DJ Moore who will once again be the top target for the Panthers in the absence of Rashard Higgins. Though it must be said that Terrace Marshall Jr. is quietly making a case for himself. With P.J. Walker set to start once again, both players should see quite a few looks.
