Breaking News: Panthers will place both starting DTs Terrell McClain and Sione Fua on injured reserve. huff.to/ulKIuC

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A person familiar with the situation says the Carolina Panthers are placing both starting rookie defensive tackles – Terrell McClain and Sione Fua – on injured reserve.

The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because moves have not been announced.

Fua and McClain were both third-round draft picks this year and have been starters since week one. However, Fua suffered a significant right hamstring strain prior to Sunday's game against Tampa Bay and didn't play. McClain sprained his left knee during the first half and did not return.

It's unclear at this point if either player will need surgery.

The Panthers (4-8) host Atlanta (7-5) on Sunday.

lol. Like that matters. In all honesty they were just getting reps to grow....inserting backups to replace them probably will make us better.

I thought McClain was actually doing better. This sucks.

We should be okay. Whoever filled in for him in the second half did a fine job... May have worked to our benefit actually. The first time all year the opposing RB didn't run wild on us in the second half!

yep. Giving them reps was a long term thing......replacing them w/ anyone will make us better NOW.
