CHARLOTTE – The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have a harder time than usual stopping Carolina Panthers running backs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart today.
The Bucs, who have are already missing defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, will also be without Albert Haynesworth and Brian Price, who will miss the game with kneem and ankle injuries, respectively.
The Bucs also scratched quarterback Rudy Carpenter, safety Larry Asante, defensive end Daniel Te’O-Hesheim and tackles Derek Hardman and James Lee.
The absence of Haynesworth and Price could prove devastating for the Bucs, a team that has lost eight straight and ranks 30th in the NFL in rush defense, allowing an average of 141 yards per game.
The Panthers, who also have a running threat in quarterback Cam Newton, have averaged 171 yards per game on the ground while compiling a 3-1 record in their last four games.
With Haynesworth and Price out the Bucs will work Frank Okam and Roy Miller at the defensive tackle spot. Meanwhile, E.J. Biggers will start at cornerback for Aqib Talib, who was placed on injured reserve earlier in the week.
