The Carolina Panthers got their two starting tackles, Jeff Otah and Jordan Gross, back on the practice field Thursday.  Although both were limited in practice, it is very likely that they will both be able to play, Sunday, in a huge divisional game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneer. This is reassuring news for the offensive line, which is also missing starting center Ryan Kalil.

The Panthers have yet to play and entire half with all of their projected offensive line starters, but Frank Omiyale, Geoff Hangartner, and Jeremy Bridges have filled in wonderfully.  It is imperative that the Panthers are able to run the ball Sunday, as they are facing a very stout Tampa Bay defense.

D.J. Hackett will be out for Sunday’s game with an MCL sprain.  Also, the Panthers got Matt Moore back on the practice field Wednesday for the first time since Moore broke his fibula in the last execbiton game.
