Mike Kaye<\/a>). <\/p>\nTo understand how dominant the performance was, the Packers accumulated as many sacks as Young completed passes when pressured. Interestingly, each of the six sacks came from a different Green Bay defender. <\/p>\n
The group did this without Micah Parsons in the lineup. Eventually, he’s going to return and make the entire unit more potent, even if he’s not quite as explosive because opponents will still key on the three-time first-team All-Pro. <\/p>\n
Furthermore, Zaire Franklin didn’t play Thursday due to a knee injury, but he’s not expected to be out long. <\/p>\n
Green Bay is flawed, particularly on offense, but the Packers’ top 10 defense can carry its share of the responsibility plus more. <\/p>\n
Panthers QB Bryce Young Desperately Needs Help<\/p>\n
As the calendar flips to November, Young is no longer in the MVP conversation. He was early in the season, but everything has since fallen apart around him. <\/p>\n
Carolina’s offensive line is a mess. Left guard Damien Lewis didn’t play Thursday, and the Panthers certainly felt his absence. Rookie Monroe Freeling remains at right tackle after veteran Taylor Moton suffered a fractured fibula. <\/p>\n
Green Bay pressured Young on nearly half of his dropbacks. The Panthers averaged under 3.6 yards per carry. Carolina’s offense also struggled to create explosive plays with its current personnel. <\/p>\n
As a result, Young has thrown for fewer than 210 yards in back-to-back games. <\/p>\n
Can Carolina Survive Injuries at CB? <\/p>\n
Will Lee III is the latest Panthers cornerback to leave the lineup due to injury. <\/p>\n
Based on Carolina’s depth chart, the Panthers are down to their fifth and sixth cornerbacks unless someone returns soon. Starters Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson are on injured reserve, as is Akayleb Evans. Lee also left Thursday’s game with a hamstring injury. With Carolina’s secondary depleted, Green Bay had little trouble throwing the ball. Watson and Golden combined for 15 catches for 192 yards. <\/p>\n
The Panthers could be leaning heavily on Chau Smith-Wade and Marco Wilson in the coming weeks unless someone else is signed or brought in via trade. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carolina Panthers at Green Bay Packers1 of 3 Will the Green Bay Packers Eventually Run the Ball With…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":899884,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[99],"class_list":["post-899883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/899883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=899883"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/899883\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/899884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=899883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=899883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=899883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
