The Carolina Panthers face a challenging finale against the Atlanta Falcons, with key injuries impacting both teams. The Panthers will be missing right guard Robert Hunt, who has been ruled out with a knee issue. This loss adds to an already strained roster, notably in the running back, linebacker, and cornerback positions.

On the other side, the Falcons will not have Darnell Mooney available due to a shoulder injury. Mooney's absence is significant as he ranks second on the team in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns, only behind teammate Drake London.

Both teams have released their inactives list ahead of the game, which kicks off at 1 p.m. EST, and will be broadcast on CBS.

The Dallas Cowboys tested the limits of kicker Brandon Aubrey's range during a Week 15 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, attempting a 70-yard field goal. Aubrey, who previously set the Cowboys' record with a 65-yarder, faced challenging outdoor conditions but showcased his impressive ability.

Head coach Mike McCarthy and special teams coordinator John Fassel expressed confidence in Aubrey's potential, noting that while the kick was ultimately unsuccessful, the attempt reflected their belief in his capabilities. The Cowboys plan to consider weather conditions in future attempts.

The Carolina Panthers held a regular practice on Thanksgiving as they gear up for their upcoming game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, the team is dealing with injuries to key players.

Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney missed his second consecutive practice due to a shoulder injury, while rookie wide receiver Jalen Coker and rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders were also sidelined. Clowney's absence would be significant, especially after his standout performance last week.

With Clowney potentially out, DJ Johnson is likely to step in. The Panthers are also facing depth issues at tight end, with Ian Thomas on injured reserve and Tommy Tremble expected to start if Sanders cannot play.
