Panthers release inactives list for season opener vs. Raiders

The Carolina Panthers have released their inactives list for today’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Here are the five players who won’t be available.

OL Dennis Daley
QB P.J. Walker
DE Shareef Miller
CB Stantley Thomas-Oliver
TE Colin Thompson

Walker’s name here means that Will Grier will serve as Teddy Bridgewater’s backup today. Coach Matt Rhule says that competition will continue week to week and that role may change depending on how they perform in practice.

Speaking of practice, Daley did not participate this week due to a sprained ankle and he was ruled out on Friday. He was expected to start at left guard. That spot will go to former Chargers offensive lineman Michael Schofield instead.

The team listed over 20 players on their official injury report. Most of them were full participants all week though, including tight end Ian Thomas (toe). Defensive end Stephen Weatherly was also listed as questionable along with Thomas-Oliver but he will play.

As for the other side, the Raiders will be without the following players:

WR Rico Gafford
S Dallin Leavitt
OT Brandon Parker
G John Simpson
DT Daniel Ross
