The Carolina Panthers will have to dig deep off the edge this afternoon.
As expected, starting outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney will not suit up for Sunday’s divisional clash against the visiting Atlanta Falcons. Clowney, who sustained a shoulder injury in the Week 5 loss to the Chicago Bears, did not participate in practice throughout the week and was listed as doubtful for the contest.
To help at the position, the Panthers added seventh-year pass rusher Marquis Haynes Sr. to the active roster on Saturday. Haynes Sr., after spending his first six seasons in Carolina, rejoined the organization as a member of the practice squad on Oct. 4.
Along with Clowney, the Panthers will also be without three more starters in tight end Tommy Tremble, inside linebacker Josey Jewell and right tackle Taylor Moton—who will miss the very first game of his NFL career.
Here is the full list of inactives for the Panthers in Week 6:
- CB Shemar Bartholomew
- OLB Jadeveon Clowney
- LB Josey Jewell
- G Jarrett Kingston
- OT Taylor Moton
- C Andrew Raym
- TE Tommy Tremble
And for Atlanta:
- LB Troy Andersen
- DL Brandon Dorlus
- OL Jovaughn Gwyn
- RB Jase McClellan
- OT Brandon Parker
- DL Kentavius Street
- OL Elijah Wilkinson
