How will the Panthers replace snaps after Week 3’s wave of injuries?

Save for a shoulder injury to receiver Shi Smith that wasn’t even as consequential as the team initially thought, the Carolina Panthers rolled into the 2021 regular season with all hands on deck. Now, three weeks later, there are quite a few of those hands missing.

The Panthers went into Houston last Thursday night and left with their third win of the season, a 24-9 chokehold over the host Texans. Unfortunately, they left without three (very) key players.

We’ve learned about the severity of the injuries to the trio this week and, in another unfortunate development, we learned it’ll be a bit of time until Carolina gets those troops back.

So here’s who’s out, who’s left and how the voids will likely be filled for the foreseeable future.
