CHARLOTTE – With several key players in the middle of their defensive front fighting nagging injuries the Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have a harder time than usual stopping Carolina Panthers running backs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart.

The Bucs listed defensive tackles Brian Price (ankle), Albert Haynesworth (knee), defensive end Michael Bennett (toe) and linebackers Geno Hayes (knee) and Adam Hayward (foot) as questionable for Saturday’s game at Bank of Americs Stadium.

The Bucs also listed defensive tackle Roy Miller as probable for game with a sore back. The good news is that each of those Bucs regulars was full-go in practice on Friday.

The Bucs also listed quarterback Josh Freeman as probable for the game with a bruised right throwing shoulder, but wide receiver Sammie Stroughter is listed as questionable with a sore knee.

The Bucs expect to have fellow wideout Arrelious Benn back in the lineup for this week’s game. Benn, who is listed as probable, missed last week’s game against Dallas because of a concussion.
