FRIDAY: Panthers release injury report for Sunday night's game

The Carolina Panthers are still holding out a glimmer of hope that defensive tackle Maake Kemoeatu will play Sunday night against the New York Giants. Kemoeatu practiced on a limited basis during Friday's light practice and coach John Fox declared him questionable on the team's injury report.

However, right guard Keydrick Vincent (groin) missed his third straight day of work and is doubtful. Look for Jeremy Bridges to get the start.

Also, wide receiver Kenneth Moore (hamstring) is out, defensive end Hilee Taylor (calf) is doubtful, defensive tackle Gary Gibson (hand) is questionable and linebacker Jon Beason (illness) is probable. Beason did practice full and should be fine for Sunday night's game.

Although he did practice on Friday, Gibson's injury is a bit of a concern......

Damn, what happened to Gibson. I know he is not a prime time player. But with Kemo's injury, he needs to step up.

[Darth Biscuit]

Yeah, if Kemo and Gibson are out, we might be in trouble.

Thank you, but I must point out that I am THE Huddle Boob inspector.

I'm more worried about Kemo as we have awful depth on the D-line, O-line is less of a concern

losing our RG is a lot better than being down a C and RT

seeing as how the giants stop the run so well, we need to be able to match that to have a chance, hopefully kemo can return

very well qualifed as well

I think the O-line will be fine. As for the Dline it probably depends on our scheme, whether Jacobs is healthy, and if we can make them one dimensional. If we get pressure and contain the run we should be fine. With the weather likely cold and snowy, I doubt anyone throws for 300 yards. If the weather is bad it should be a low scoring affair.

Heard on ESPN radio on the way home that everybody on the Giants practiced except for LB Gerris Wilkinson (who's presence doesn't really matter either way).

[Delhommey]

Also the Giants line has had problems with speed not heft.

Penetration before they cans develop their blocks is key.

[Ncstatefan]

We need Gibson to play especially if Kemo isn't

[Snake]

I wonder why they didnt call up Nick Hayden from the PS if both Gibson and Kemo are hurt. I mean Kenny Moore is expendable.

I wish Hilee Taylor would get healthy, as he hasn’t played since the Green Bay game.

He’s looked like a legitimate third-down pass rusher in the few cases we’ve used him. He could prove useful in the playoffs as well. I know Johnson has the quickness too, but it wouldn’t hurt to get the kid out there and see what he can do.

[Delhomme17]

Hold the presses! That report is not accurate...panthers.com has Kemo as probable and had a full practice as did Vincent who is questionable.
