The Panthers have ruled outside linebacker Mario Addison out for Sunday’s game against the Titans, per team reporter Max Henson.
Addison is not injured – he has missed practice all week due to a death in the family. Addison’s brother was shot and killed on Sunday night in Birmingham, Alabama.
Our thoughts are with Addison and his family at this time.
His loss is a significant one for Carolina’s defense. He leads the team with 6.5 sacks this season. With Addison out and Christian Miller questionable with an ankle injury, first-round pick Brian Burns should see his playing time increase significantly from last week, when he only played 32% of the snaps.
