Panthers unofficial depth chart ahead of preseason game vs. Bills

Saturday's matchup between the Carolina Panthers and Buffalo Bills should be at least a tad more interesting than your run-of-the-mill preseason contest.

For one, the game will mark the very first out of the new Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y.

Oh, and both teams are expected to field their starters. We may not be seeing the headliners for long, but at least we'll get some sort of look at how the first-stringers can operate.
