The New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers reported their lists of inactive players for Week 18’s regular season finale, though a handful of them were preemptively ruled out due to injuries. That includes a couple of starters for the Saints, who were without cornerback Paulson Adebo (hamstring) and left guard Andrus Peat (ankle).
Other starters were questionable to play but ultimately got held out — names like right tackle Ryan Ramczyk (hip) and free safety Marcus Maye (shoulder). Backup defensive end Payton Turner was a healthy scratch along with a couple of players brought up from the practice squad.
