A bug going around the Panthers locker room has forced Carolina to make a couple of more changes going into Sunday’s matchup with the Colts.

According to team reporter Max Henson, defensive tackle Woodrow Hamilton has been ruled out due to an illness. Offensive lineman Matt Kaskey is getting promoted from the practice squad to take his place on the active roster. In a corresponding move, linebacker Ramik Wilson was waived.

Center Matt Paradis has also come down sick, but he has no official status as of yet. Paradis has disappointed this season, especially in pass protection. If he can’t go, expect Tyler Larsen to take his place in the lineup.

Defensive tackle Vernon Butler also has the bug. He is listed as questionable, as is wide receiver Curtis Samuel (knee). Both are expected to play, though.
