The Carolina Panthers face significant challenges ahead of their game against the New York Giants in Germany, with key players Adam Thielen and Ikem Ekwonu ruled out due to injuries. Thielen has been sidelined since Week 3, while Ekwonu missed last week’s game. His absence will be felt as he would have faced former teammate Brian Burns.

Brady Christensen will step in for Ekwonu at left tackle, while safety Jammie Robinson is also unlikely to play. The Panthers will rely on their depth at receiver, with players like Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker stepping up to fill the void.
