The Panthers have ruled out safeties Vonn Bell and Xavier Woods for their upcoming game against the Dolphins. Woods is dealing with a multi-week hamstring injury, while Bell suffered a quad injury. Sam Franklin is expected to start in Woods' place, while the replacement for Bell is yet to be determined. Jeremy Chinn, who has seen limited playing time recently, could potentially see an increased role. Fifth-round rookie Jammie Robinson is also a candidate to fill in at strong safety.
