If Chinn can’t play, it would obviously be a huge blow for the Panthers defense. His versatility and range have made him the most indispensable piece for this unit. Facing the Chiefs without Chinn could lead to the biggest blowout of the year. Coach Matt Rhule told reporters today doing so would not fall on one player but would require multiple guys filling different roles.
