The Carolina Panthers are facing significant challenges midway through the 2024 NFL season, struggling with a depleted roster and the lack of development of their franchise quarterback. The team's injury report is extensive, listing 22 players, while their opponents, the Denver Broncos, have only five.

Key players for the Panthers, including quarterback Andy Dalton and wide receiver Adam Thielen, are among those affected. Meanwhile, the Broncos are dealing with fewer injuries, with star cornerback Pat Surtain II expected to play despite a concussion.
