Friday Injury Report, Post-Practice
Offensive tackles Jordan Gross and Jeff Otah fully participated in practice Friday, but were listed on the injury report as questionable to play Sunday at Tampa Bay.
Gross (concussion) and Otah (sprained ankle) did not play last week against Kansas City and did not practice Wednesday, but were upgraded to limited participation Thursday before being released to practice fully Friday.
Coach John Fox said it would be a game-time decision regarding whether they'll face the Buccaneers.
It appears likely they'll play, however, especially since they practiced Friday.
Safety Quinton Teal (ankle) and defensive tackle Darwin Walker (thigh) also were listed as questionable, but fully participated Friday.
No players were declared out. Two players who didn't practice for the third straight day, wide receiver D.J. Hackett and center Ryan Kalil, were listed as doubtful.
Linebacker Na'il Diggs (foot) and quarterback Matt Moore (leg) participated fully and are listed as probable.

Kalil out hurts, but it's survivable. Otah and Gross need to be at or near 100% to negate Tampa's pass rush.

This has nothing to do with this but who was the starting corners on the 2003 team? Terry cousin? and?

Having Gross and Otah healthy and available to play on Sunday is going to be a key to this game! I will be watching on Sunday and as always GO PANTHERS!

Having Otah available would be more important. It would put Bridges back as the #6 OL. He could cover 3 spots. If Frank went down, Wharton could slide over and they would not miss a beat. I just hope M. Ber... is comfortable with snapping the ball.

I will say that we don't lose all that much from Otah to Bridges on the right, given Otah's relative inexperience. If he really does have an ankle sprain (especially if it was the dreaded "high ankle sprain"), then I'd definitely want him to sit this one out.
