Panthers and Broncos meet Sunday, with Carolina missing several players after back-to-back losses.
Cat Scratch Reader, a fan blog, lists Jaelen Phillips, Will Lee, Bobby Okereke and Damien Lewis as out for Carolina, with Brady Christensen questionable. Mile High Report, another fan blog, says Denver (6-2) needs Nik Bonitto to pressure Bryce Young, who has been sacked 23 times this season, and that Eyioma Uwazurike is ruled out for the Broncos. A win would put Denver at 7-2 before its bye, according to Mile High Report.

Colts have told teams they received a fourth-round pick offer for WR Josh Downs, according to ESPN.

Keenan Allen, second on the team with 325 receiving yards, could also be moved as Indianapolis looks toward 2027. Stampede Blue, a Colts fan blog, reports citing NFL insider Ari Meirov that Indianapolis has been offered more for nose tackle Grover Stewart than it got for DeForest Buckner.
