APThe Panthers will be without running back Jonathan Stewart tonight, evening out the scales on an evening where the Giants are missing many key offensive parts.
Also inactive for the Panthers were linebacker Thomas Davis and starting right tackle Byron Bell, along with safety Colin Jones, guard Mike Pollak, defensive tackle Sione Fua and quarterback Jimmy Clausen.
Davis, who is coming back from three ACL tears, was bothered by a hamstring strain.
The Giants already knew they were going to be missing several key players: Wide receivers Hakeem Nicks and Domenik Hixon, running back Ahmad Bradshaw and right tackle David Diehl, along with defensive end Adewale Ojomo, who didn’t travel. Also inactive for the Giants were cornerback Michael Coe and tight end Adrien Robinson.
That means cornerback Prince Amukamara will be active for the first time this season.

These short weeks are nuts….
Good thing they paid Stewart all that money.
More reasons not to play these Thursday night games. And I’m not just saying that because I don’t get the NFL network………..
I feel like davis is due for another ACL tear. Its definitely not a good sign that his hamstring is acting up
Well that just pushed RB DeAngelo Williams into my starting lineup.
if teams can’t put the best players they have on the field because of short weeks then it’s not worth paying for NFL network to view it. i love watching football as much as anyone but this full season of thursday games kind of makes my passion for watching it wane. sunday’s are convenient, and mondays are a staple. saturday is reserved for college… i don’t want to devote four nights a week to football, even more so if players can’t play because of short weeks.
i enjoy the early thursday games this year, we dont have to wait til sunday to watch nfl games, and it gives other teams a chance to be on national tv (even tho its not really national tv cause its on nfl network)
Jimmy Clausen is out? Oh man, we’re in big trouble now.
Giants look good.
