SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The Panthers offensive line has been devastated by injuries this season, the latest coming with centers Ryan Kalil and Gino Gradkowski being placed on injured reserve Tuesday.With left tackle Michael Oher out for the year with a concussion and backup right tackle Daryl Williams nursing an injury, the Panthers may have even more problems protecting franchise quarterback Cam Newton on Sunday at Seattle.Kalil, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, missed three of the past four games before the Panthers placed him on injured reserve with a shoulder issue. It likely forces undrafted rookie Tyler Larsen to start at center against the Seahawks top-ranked defense.(Kalils) one of the best players at his position in the NFL. He might be the best center, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. So when you lose that caliber of player, you dont just lose the physical play, you lose the leadership and the smarts and all that.Panthers coach Ron Rivera said its going to be up to Larsen to help patch together a makeshift offensive line in noisy CenturyLink Field, where Carolina played the past two seasons, including the playoffs in 2014.Hes done a nice job for us, hes handled it very well, Rivera said. Im pretty excited about him getting his opportunity. ... I think were going to be fine.Larsen was signed as an undrafted free agent from Utah State, and has appeared in only three NFL games. He was released from Carolina on Oct. 8 before being brought back to the practice squad.

But Oakland scored 10 points inside the final five minutes, dealing the Panthers (4-7) their fourth loss in five road games.Its been an unexpectedly turbulent season for Carolina after Newton was honored as the 2015 MVP following a 14-0 start.The teams regression can be traced to the slew of injuries along the offensive line. Only one player, left guard Andrew Norwell, is playing the same position where he began the season. Carolina credited good health for playing a role during the successful run to the Super Bowl. It hasnt lasted in 2016.Its a trickledown effect. It affects everything, tight end Greg Olsen said. Thats the nature of football. . . Last year was an anomaly with being relatively healthy throughout the season. It happens throughout the league. Its just sometimes the luck of the draw.Williams didnt practice Wednesday while he continued to sport a walking boot on his left foot after suffering an ankle injury late in the second quarter against the Raiders. If Williams cant play, the Panthers will likely have right guard Trai Turner play right tackle, where he hasnt started since high school.Game notes LB Luke Kuechly (concussion), WR Kelvin Benjamin (shoulder), S Kurt Coleman (concussion), DL Ryan Delaire (knee) did not practice Wednesday. ...

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- The horn went off too soon, and Michigan State hung on.Eron Harris had a season-high 31 points and the 13th-ranked Spartans held off Florida Gulf Coast 78-77 on Sunday night when a timekeeping error led to a disputed finish.With 1.6 seconds remaining, Florida Gulf Coasts Christian Terrell threw a long inbounds pass from underneath his own basket. But the clock incorrectly started when the pass was thrown, rather than when Antravious Simmons caught the ball by the foul line at the other end of the court.So as Simmons turned to try a game-winning shot, the buzzer sounded -- much too early. Simmons missed his attempt, but FGCU players looked confused and coach Joe Dooley sought an explanation.Officials went to a video review as players and fans waited to find out if the game was indeed over.Since a timing error occurred, we are able to utilize the replay monitor, referee Bo Boroski told a pool reporter. Using a stopwatch, it was determined the ball was caught and released in 1.3 seconds, meaning if the shot would have gone in, it would have counted. After the miss there was no time remaining in the game, therefore ending the game. By rule the possession cannot be replayed.And that was that.After the game, Dooley said he understood the ruling.Harris made all six of his 3-pointers and Miles Bridges added 13 points for the Spartans (2-2), who shot a season-best 51 percent from the floor. They hit 52.9 percent of their attempts from beyond the 3-point line, but struggled at the free throw line (57.6 percent).Its hard to be honest and mad and happy at the same time, Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. We got to the free throw line 33 times. Twenty-one assists on 25 baskets was very, very good. We improved in some areas, but I thought we got outplayed. The biggest thing this program has stood for has been toughness, but I told our players they were the tougher team.Florida Gulf Coast (1-3) got 18 points apiece from Brandon Goodwin and Simmons, who added 12 rebounds. RaySean Scott Jr. added 14 off the bench.I thought it was a greaat college game.dddddddddddd Great atmosphere. Im proud of the way our guys competed, Dooley said. Obviously disappointed with the ending, but we put ourselves in some spots that we shouldnt have. But thats what happens when you play a really good team, and Michigan States a really good team.The Eagles shot 46 percent overall and 47.1 percent from the foul line. They outrebounded Michigan State 41-29.They were tougher than I thought they were going to be, Harris said of Florida Gulf Coast. They werent trash-talkers or anything. They got out there and played hard.It was the second meeting between the schools. Michigan State won 97-58 in East Lansing on Nov. 13, 2009.BIG PICTUREFlorida Gulf Coast: The Eagles dropped to 1-8 against ranked opponents. The schools only win came during its improbable run in the 2013 NCAA tournament, when it beat No. 8 Georgetown in the second round.Michigan State: The Spartans kept their November home winning streak alive, but barely. They havent lost at home since David Robinson led Navy past Michigan State 91-90 in overtime on Nov. 29, 1986.POLL IMPLICATIONSIf it were up to Izzo, there wouldnt be any for his team. This will be one of the four or five best teams we play in the preseason, Izzo said. That team will play in the NCAA (Tournament). No question about it.BY THE NUMBERSGoodwin has been Florida Gulf Coasts leading scorer in all four games this season, while Simmons recorded his first double-double of the season. The Eagles outscored Michigan State in the paint (40-22) and on second-chance points (24-9).UP NEXTFlorida Gulf Coast is home Wednesday against Binghamton, the start of a seven-game stretch that includes six at home.Michigan State, which has played in Hawaii and New York this month, travels to the Bahamas for the final three games of the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament beginning Wednesday, when the Spartans take on St. Johns. They finish the month with a Nov. 29 game at Duke. ' ' '
