Carolina Panthers Monday morning optimist 10/8/12

The time for excuses is over, and the time to step up is at hand.

Carolina Panthers vs. Seattle Seahawks: Sunday's inactives for both teams

Here is the list of inactive players for both the Carolina Panthers and Seattle Seahawks. There are two very important names on the list for Carolina, as both Chris Gamble and Jon Beason will not play today. Another inactive player of note is WR/PR Joe Adams, who is apparently still in the dog house after his two fumble performance two weeks ago against New York.

Sunday's Inactives:

CAROLINA:

LB Jon Beason

CB Chris Gamble

OG Geoff Hangartner

QB Jimmy Clausen

WR Joe Adams

DE Thomas Keiser

S DJ Campbell

SEATTLE:

OG John Moffitt

WR Charly Martin

S Winston Guy

CB Danny Gorrer

CB Jeremy Lane

DT Jaye Howard

DT Greg Scruggs

Hopefully the Panthers don't miss the services of Beason and Gamble too much, but the defense is going to depend on two rookies to step up into major roles as LB Luke Kuechly and CB Josh Norman will both be called upon to replace the two injured Panthers stars.
