The Panthers will be down at least one man at cornerback in Sunday’s game against the Falcons. James Bradberry is going to play, but Ross Cockrell has been ruled out this week with a quad injury. Donte Jackson is listed as questionable, per Max Henson.
On offense, it looks like Carolina will miss left tackle Dennis Daley, who is listed as doubtful. However, they’ll be getting second-round pick Greg Little back. He has finally cleared the concussion protocol. Coach Ron Rivera told reporters today he could play as many as 60 snaps despite missing the last five games.
If Jackson is ruled out, it could but serious strain on the rest of the Panthers’ secondary outside of Bradberry’s matchup with Julio Jones. Calvin Ridley was a problem last season and is in prime position for a larger target share with Austin Hooper out for a month.
Everyone else is healthy and should be ready to go.
