The Carolina Panthers are gearing up for a match against the New York Giants at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. Coach Dave Canales emphasized the consistency of the game despite the international setting. "I promised the guys that the field will be 53 and a third by 100 yards. So, they're fired up to take on the challenge," he stated. The team practiced at FC Bayern München and did a walk-through at Allianz Arena to acclimate to their surroundings.

Canales encouraged his players to enjoy their time abroad, noting, "I also want them to enjoy being here, being in another country...we play in the best league of football that there is and there's a fan base worldwide."

On the field, safety Jordan Fuller is expected to return after recovering from an injury. Meanwhile, Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton will not play due to concussion protocol. Defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero acknowledged key Giants players Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson as threats.

Chuba Hubbard recently signed a four-year extension with the Panthers and will face off against Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence. Hubbard has been effective this season, accumulating significant yardage before contact.

A notable matchup includes Panthers' Brian Burns against Giants' Brady Christensen. Christensen expressed respect for Burns: "Burns, he can bend like no other."

Quarterback Bryce Young continues his development under pressure situations. Recently, he achieved positive results against pressure for the first time in his career.

The kicking situation for the Giants remains uncertain with Graham Gano listed as questionable and Greg Joseph waived from injured reserve. Special teams coordinator Tracy Smith commented on preparing for various possibilities: "We have kind of the contingency plan for any of the four or the combination of those two guys on punting and kicking this week."
