Panthers Week 8 inactives: Zach Kerr, Russell Okung out vs. Falcons

The Carolina Panthers are once again shorthanded in the trenches heading into their Week 8 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons, with starters on both sides of the line of scrimmage being ruled out.

Here are the team’s inactives for tonight’s game.

OT Russell Okung
DT Zach Kerr
G Mike Horton
DB Sean Chandler
QB Will Grier

Greg Little will start in Okung’s place at left tackle. He performed well last week against the Saints and can build a claim to more playing time with another strong game against Atlanta. Kerr had been taking the place of Kawann Short, who is on injured reserve. The Panthers will now be starting rookie Bravvion Roy next to Derrick Brown.

As for those not listed here, Christian McCaffrey and Yetur Gross-Matos are also on IR and a couple offensive linemen are on the reserve/COVID-19 list as well as cornerback Rasul Douglas.

As for Atlanta, here is their list of inactives.

DE Takk McKinley
RB Ito Smith
DT Marlon Davidson
CB Jordan Miller
OT John Wetzel
