The Panthers will be without 23-year old OT Jeff Otah for the rest of the year due to a knee injury.  Otah played in 13 games (all starts) for the Panthers.  In his two years with the Panthers, Otah has played in 25 games (all starts).  The Panthers have to be a little discouraged that Otah has not proven that he can handle a whole season yet physically.  But, he is a solid football player and they will miss him big time the last three weeks of the year.   Geoff Schwartz will replace Otah in the starting line-up.  He has played in 13 games (0 starts) this season for the Panthers.
