As expected, the Carolina Panthers will not have a couple of standout rookies for Week 13.
The team announced on Friday that wide receiver Jalen Coker and tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders are out for Sunday’s matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Coker injured his quadriceps ahead of last week’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs while Sanders (neck) exited the game after landing on his head at the end of a 10-yard reception.
Today’s injury report also listed outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney, who returned to practice in a limited capacity this afternoon, as questionable. Clowney leads the Panthers with 27 pressures.
