Most Players out with Knee Injuries as we look at the Locals this Week in the NFL

Still three games to be played on Sunday, and the Carolina Panthers won this weeek…No, wait that was last week, when they won 9-7, and this week the Panthers fell to the Green Bay Packers, 33-30…30-30 late in the game…But Carolina Panthers run out of time….
(And Eddie Pinero missed two PAT kicks…No Dinero for Pinero this week.)

Lots of our local guys hurt these days, and most out with Knee/Heel Injuries….
