Things have not been going well for the Carolina Panthers. They got worse Sunday … before kicking off against the Buffalo Bills.
Kicker Zane Gonzalez goes down with a quad injury in pregame warmups and that leaves the Panthers minus one kicker.
You say use the punter, right? Lachlan Edwards grew up in Australia and has never kicked field goals or PATs or anything else that involves kicking and not punting.
Update: Panthers K Zane Gonzalez suffered an injury during pregame warm ups and is now OUT.
