The Carolina Panthers have quite the task ahead of them this weekend in the red-hot Dallas Cowboys. And unfortunately, they’ll be without a few key defenders for the contest.
Cornerbacks Jaycee Horn (hamstring) and CJ Henderson (concussion) as well as outside linebacker Marquis Haynes Sr. (back) have all been ruled out of Sunday’s matchup. Tight end Hayden Hurst, who is currently in concussion protocol, will also be a no-go.
Carolina will, at least, have their top pass rusher in Brian Burns. The two-time Pro Bowler missed the Week 10 loss to the Chicago Bears due to a concussion.
