Carolina Panthers vs. Atlanta Falcons injury report and starting lineup - NFL Week 14 

The Carolina Panthers will host the Atlanta Falcons in an AFC South divisional battle that will likely end one team's playoff dream. Both teams are 5-7 and a defeat will certainly put them out of contention in the race for a playoff spot.

After humbling the Arizona Cardinals, the number one seed in the NFC, the Panthers have lost two straight and their season is close to fizzling out. Cam Newton's return hasn't had the impact the team would've hoped for. He had a terrible outing against the Miami Dolphins last week, going 5/21 for 92 yards and two interceptions.

The Falcons are also coming off an ugly loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week. While the 30-17 scoreline may not reflect that, they were thoroughly dominated on the night. Matt Ryan did manage to throw for 297 yards and had just 11 incompletions in 41 attempts, but that didn't help Atlanta's cause.

Ahead of this critical game for both teams, check out the injury report and starting lineup:
