DJ Chark, Taylor Moton active vs. Saints in Week 2

Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers will have a little more firepower on offense tonight.

As first reported by ESPN senior NFL insider Jeremy Fowler, and later confirmed by the team’s official release of their inactive list, wide receiver DJ Chark is a go for the Monday night matchup with the New Orleans Saints.

Chark, who missed last week’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons with a hamstring injury, was listed as questionable coming into the contest. After two limited practices on Thursday and Friday, the 26-year-old pass catcher was a full participant for Saturday’s session.

Also joining him in uniform will be starting right tackle Taylor Moton, who did not have a game designation on the final injury report. Moton is now set to play in his 100th consecutive game, the fifth-longest streak (and longest for a non-specialist) in franchise history.

Here is who won’t be active for Carolina in their home opener:

• RB Raheem Blackshear
• G Nash Jensen
• OLB DJ Johnson
• OT David Sharpe
• CB Sam Webb

And as for the Saints’ inactives:

• WR Lynn Bowden
• WR Kirk Merritt
• RB Kendre Miller
• WR A.T. Perry
• DE Kyle Phillips
• OL Nick Saldiveri
