Daley is dealing with a sprained ankle. Coach Matt Rhule says he’s considered day-to-day. If he can’t go, expect Michael Schofield to start at left guard in his place. The other 18 are likely to play.
In related news, wide receiver Keith Kirkwood (shoulder) and cornerback Eli Apple (ankle) are currently on the injured reserve list and will be eligible to come back in a few weeks. However, punter Michael Palardy and rookie receiver Omar Bayless are on permanent IR and will miss the entire season.
The Panthers also have one player on the reserve/COVID-19 list: offensive lineman Chris Reed.
