Carolina's offensive line woes only got worse Monday when Rivera announced that starting left guard Amini Silatolu tore the ACL in his right knee and is out for the season. The Panthers lost starting right guard Garry Williams for the season in week one.

"If you're not then there's a lot of things going wrong in your head, and you're not a competitor. I think we have a lot of competitors in this locker room.
