These are the top questions for the Carolina Panthers entering the third preseason game of the 2018 season.

The Carolina Panthers are preparing for the third preseason game, Friday night against the New England Patriots. The third preseason game is typically treated like a dress rehearsal for the regular season. This is the game that NFL teams will keep their starters in the longest and will even start to gameplan a little bit.

The Panthers will continue their AFC East tour and hope to make it three for three after wins over the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins in the first two games. There may not be a better opponent for this third preseason game than the New England Patriots. They have been one of the best in football for over 15 years now, led by quarterback Tom Brady and head coach Bill Belicheck.

If the Panthers hope to achieve what the Patriots have, there are a number of questions they will need to answer. The fact that the starters will be playing a majority of the game the focus will be on the first-teams but there is still some questions for the depth as well.

These are the top questions for the Carolina Panthers in their upcoming game against the New England Patriots.
