Despite hurricane, Panthers haven't altered travel plans

Several football games have been moved, postponed or canceled in anticipation of Hurricane Florence pummeling Virginia and the Carolinas, but the Carolina Panthers haven't changed their plans.

Coach Ron Rivera told reporters on Thursday that the Panthers expect to practice in Charlotte on Friday and travel to Atlanta on Saturday.

The Panthers and Falcons are scheduled to play Sunday at 1 p.m. at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Rivera said the team is monitoring developments and could leave Friday, if necessary.
