Believe it or not, the Panthers were doing more than just huddling about Greg Hardy on Wednesday. They also practiced. They have a game this weekend, if you hadn’t heard.

While much of the football world was focused on Hardy, a dozen other guys ended up on the day’s injury report, an extensive list that included seven starters and the team’s main returner.

For what it’s worth, head coach Ron Rivera indicated the biggest question marks ahead of Sunday’s game with the Steelers involved running back Fozzy Whittaker and tackle Garry Williams. But we won’t know how concerning this list is until we see how many of the guys on it return for Thursday’s practice.
