The Carolina Panthers are heading into their Week 6 match up against the Dallas Cowboys at less than 100%. Leading this week\u2019s injury report is star right tackle Taylor Moton, who has been ruled out for the game Sunday with an elbow injury. There is hope for the offense, however, as pass catchers Jalen Coker (wide receiver, quad) and Ja\u2019Tavion Sanders (tight end, ankle) may be set to return after extended absences.<\/p>\n
Moton\u2019s loss is the biggest story of the week for the Panthers, who will also be without top running back Chuba Hubbard. Moton will be replaced by the questionably-reliable Yosh Nijman while Hubbard\u2019s back up, former Cowboy Rico Dowdle, just put up 206 yards against the Miami Dolphins. Moton, in his ninth year with the Panthers, previously went from 2018 to 2022 without missing an offensive snap. This is now his second year in a row to miss a game due to a small injury. We\u2019ll hope this isn\u2019t the start of a pattern for one of the best players the Panthers have had on their roster for years.<\/p>\n
Coker, who was expected to take over the role of the departed Adam Thielen as Bryce Young\u2019s favorite, experienced target, could be making his season debut Sunday after pulling up with a quad injury in training camp just days after Thielen was traded away to the Minnesota Vikings. We are all optimistic that the second year receiver\u2019s presence on the field will help calm down some of Young\u2019s early misfires.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Carolina Panthers are heading into their Week 6 match up against the Dallas Cowboys at less than…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":436220,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2075],"tags":[235,260,64627,3701,2567,7,6,236],"class_list":{"0":"post-436219","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-carolina-panthers","8":"tag-carolina","9":"tag-carolina-panthers","10":"tag-carolina-panthers-injuries","11":"tag-carolina-panthers-depth-chart","12":"tag-carolinapanthers","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-panthers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115351962638960106","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=436219"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436219\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/436220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=436219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=436219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=436219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
