What It Means:

Harper could be seen trying to use ice to deal with the pain in his eye, but it was determined just before the half that he could not reenter. The extent of the injury is unknown, as is Harper's Super Bowl availability.

Harper is the second defensive starter out for Carolina. Thomas Davis has been ruled out with an arm/wrist injury. The Panthers finished 2015 ranked second in Adjusted Defensive Net Expected Points per play.
