Derek Carr at home for 6 . 1 k seems too good to be true . He just passed for nearly 300 yards against a much better secondary in Houston , in another country . Carolina has played better defense as of late thanks to the return of James Bradberry # 22 CB on PFF , but they are getting pretty beaten up elsewhere . Across from him , Daryl Worley has been burnable , and unfortunately for Carolina , they ' ve got health issues at safety . Tre Boston logged a DNP yesterday , though he seems like he ' ll get at least a LP session in today . He ' s not that great to begin with , and neither is backup Colin Jones . Kurt Coleman has been solid if unspectacular , but he can ' t be everywhere . Nickel Leonard Johnson has been pretty good since returning , but he ' s another one that ' s hurt , though he went from a DNP to LP . That leaves the slot to Robert McClain , who was signed off the street at the end of last year and hasn ' t played very well this season . And that ' s just the secondary . We all know about Luke Kuechly who is almost certainly not going to play with a concussion . Not only is that a big blow as far as his own skill goes , but Kuechly is as smart of a defender as there is in the league . You hear about coaches on the field , well , don ' t underestimate the impact that he has on a young team calling out signals . Thomas Davis is no slouch , but he ' s not Kuechly . Up front , the story gets worse . Mario Addison , the teams ' pass rush specialist and leading sacker , also got hurt against NO and has logged two DNPs with a foot injury . They ' ve struggled to get pressure as it is , and that certainly won ' t help things . Also keep in mind the potency of Carolina ' s offense . Vegas has this as the second highest OU , just behind AtlantaArizona . There will be a ton of points scored in this one . Keep an eye on the injury reports for Crabtree and Murray both have been LP all week , as Seth Roberts and Jalen Richard could be good plays too . Seems like a lot of words on someone so obvious , but maybe he ' ll fly under the radar a bit .
