Official Texans @ Panthers Game Thread, 09/20/2015

[Arky]

The Texans travel to Charlotte, NC this Sunday to take on the Carolina Panthers in an early game. The latest news from NRG is that the Texans will be going with Ryan Mallett at QB. The 0-1 Texans lost their home opener to the Chiefs 27-20.

The 1-0 Panthers did enough to get by the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road in their opener winning 20-9. Star Panther LB Luke Kuechly is currently going through the concussion protocol and could be good to go on Sunday. Cam Newton was 18/31, 175 yds with 1 TD and 1 INT against the Jags.
