It was expected that Jonathan Stewart and Jon Beason wouldn't be ready to start preseason, but they're joined by a quartet of players, all on the offensive ball.
Domenik Hixon will not play tomorrow, neither will Mike Tolbert. Hixon was signed this offseason to compete for the Panthers' third receiver spot, but hasn't done much to stand out in camp. While he's technically listed as the fourth receiver on the depth chart, he's been surpassed by Ted Ginn and Armanti Edwards -- at least that's how snaps have been handed out in camp.
Here is the full injury list:
- Jon Beason, LB
- Domenik Hixon, WR
- Edmund Kugbila, OG
- James Shaw, WR
- Jonathan Stewart, RB
- Mike Tolbert, FB
You will need to wait a little longer if you were hoping to see the Carolina Panthers' starters for significant time. Ron Rivera said this morning that quarterback Cam Newton will only play for 2-3 series, while starters wont see anything more than 10-15 plays. In other words: Get ready for the Derek Anderson and Jimmy Clausen show.
