The Carolina Panthers are expected to hold center Ryan Kalil and right tackle Jeff Otah out of Sunday's game as expected. Both Otah and Kalil were held out of their third straight practice on Friday and are listed as doubtful for Sunday's game.

   Coach John Fox said the decision has nothing to do with the upcoming bye week.

   Meanwhile wide receiver D.J. Hackett (knee) participated in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable. But he might benefit from two more weeks of no contract. Besides, the team has Dwayne Jarrett to fill in for him, so there's no need to rush Hackett back.

   Also, wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad, safety Chris Harris and linebacker Thomas Davis are all listed as probable. They all practiced "full" on Friday.
