HEAD COACH TODD BOWLES
(On if anyone has been ruled out for Sunday's game)
"Cade [Otton], Sterling [Shepard], and [Antoine] Winfield Jr."
(On if LB K.J. Britt or anyone else's status will be a game-time decision)
"There will be a few game-time decisions, K.J. being one of them. We'll see what the secondary looks like on gameday as well."
(On what the mood of the team is heading into Sunday)
"The mood is good. We understand where we have to be. We've been here before. We have to play football. If we don't win our two games, nothing else matters anyway."
(On if he learned anything in the first meeting against Carolina under Head Coach Dave Canales)
"No, we knew they were going to be tough. We knew they were going to be well coached and it's going to be a tough game, this game. It's a division game. Dave is a heck of a coach, he's building a heck of a team. We just have to play our game."
(On if stopping the run game on defense is key against a mobile quarterback like Carolina QB Bryce Young)
"It's huge. Stopping the run for them is tough enough but then the quarterback gives you that extra element. He gets about 60-70 yards a game. He makes it very tough."
(On DL Will Gholson's status for Sunday)
"He should be okay. He should be okay."
