The Panthers have ruled out three players for Sunday’s matchup against the Colts.
Linebacker Shaq Thompson will miss his first game of the season due to an ankle injury, while EDGE Marquis Haynes will also sit out due to a knee issue. Offensive lineman Garrett McGhin (ankle) has also been placed on the injured reserve list and won’t be available.
Two players are listed as questionable.
Defensive tackle Vernon Butler came down with an illness and did not participate in practice either today or Thursday. Wide receiver Curtis Samuel also sat out with a knee issue. On the bright side, interim head coach Perry Fewell said he expects both to play.
With Thompson out, Jermaine Carter Jr. should get the fifth start of his career.
