Panthers Star Receiver Expected To Play Sunday

The Carolina Panthers somehow remain in the hunt for the NFC South in Week 15, despite having one of the most up-and-down seasons in recent memory, but with the Buccaneers failing to pull away at just 6-7 on the year, there's plenty of opportunity for this young team to step up and challenge for the division crown. 

With Sam Darnold invigorated as the starting Quarterback of this franchise, they suddenly have life, and D.J. Moore is a key part of that, and ahead of the Week 15 clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers, it appears that he's expected to play, despite dealing with an ankle injury for the past week.

#Panthers WR D.J. Moore (questionable, ankle) is expected to play Sunday vs. Pittsburgh, per sources. Had a productive week of practice coming off the injury from last week.

In 2022, he's hauled in 46 catches for 605 yards and 4 Touchdowns, and with a newfound running game behind D'Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard, as well as an improved defence, this is a team that has plenty of momentum behind them, so if Moore can be good to go, it's a massive boost.
