Short (knee) wasn't listed on the Panthers' injury report Wednesday.

Analysis:

Short followed up limited showings in practice last week by avoiding the injury report entirely in advance of the Super Bowl. After racking up 13 sacks in 18 games this season (including playoffs), expect the third-year pro to play a key role in pressuring Peyton Manning (foot) on Sunday.
