Panthers News: Bryce Young, Chris Tabor, D.J. Chark and injuries
By Dean Jones
Which Carolina Panthers news stories are causing a stir with one day remaining until their Week 13 game at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?
It'll be a relief for players and coaches to focus on football after another turbulent week. Frank Reich, Josh McCown, and Duce Staley were all removed from the equation after another dismal offensive performance, which signals the start of yet another interim era that begins tomorrow at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Just what fans can expect is anyone's guess, but it's not like the bar is especially high after a 1-10 opening to the campaign. Until then, the stories causing debate include Chris Tabor's excitement, Bryce Young dropping in The 33rd Team's redraft, D.J. Chark on his changing role, and Carolina's final injury report for their divisional clash versus the Buccaneers.
Let's delve into each topic in more detail.
