The Facts: Cotchery was carted off the field during today's game against the Texans after being hit in the back of the leg by tight end Ed Dickson while blocking.

Diehards Line:Cotchery has the lone touchdown by a Panthers wide receiver this year, last week in Jacksonville. He’s not starting for the Panthers (that’s Philly Brown and Ted Ginn), but he’s more dependable than either. Now a Panthers offense that is struggling anyway is forced to adjust on the fly.
