LB Diggs out for injury-plagued Panthers (AP)
The Carolina Panthers will likely have a makeshift lineup against Dallas as they try to avoid an 0-3 start. Linebacker Na'il Diggs was declared out of Monday night's game after missing his third straight practice Saturday with bruised ribs. Starting strong safety Chris Harris, top fullback Brad Hoover and defensive end Everette Brown also sat out the workout and are listed as doubtful.
