With middle linebacker Trevin Wallace out, the green dot will go back to veteran Christian Rozeboom, who had that role early in the season. Core special teamer Claudin Cherelus will take Wallace's place in the starting lineup, and the Panthers have also elevated Krys Barnes from the practice squad.

Right guard Robert Hunt, who has missed the last five games due to a biceps tear, was present at Wednesday's practice. Still shelved on injured reserve, the sixth-year veteran did not officially participate in the session, but did engage in some movement and range-of-motion exercises.

The San Francisco 49ers and Carolina Panthers are in a race for a playoff spot, but the 49ers are favored big in their Week 12 showdown on MNF.

After a stunning upset against the Packers, the rest of the regular season schedule for the Panthers suddenly looks a bit different.

The Carolina Panthers followed up their eye-opening upset over the Green Bay Packers in Week 9 with an absolute stinker against the one-win New Orleans Saints in Week 10. That incredibly disappointing 17-7 loss, especially after their win at Lambeau Field, damaged their stock in the NFL landscape last week.
