Shaq Thompson's Achilles injury has sidelined him for the rest of the 2024 season, potentially marking the end of his career with the Carolina Panthers. How will the Panthers' defense cope with this setback? The team is grappling with defensive struggles, ranking last in pressures and sacks, and facing linebacker depth issues with Josey Jewell also injured. Inexperienced players like Trevin Wallace and Claudin Cherelus are stepping up, while the secondary's performance is hindered by a lack of support up front. On a brighter note, the Panthers' offense is showing signs of life. Andy Dalton is leading an improved passing game, with standout contributions from Diontae Johnson and Xavier Legette.

Will the Panthers overcome these challenges and find a new defensive rhythm? Tune in to explore these pressing issues and gain unique insights into the Carolina Panthers' evolving season.
