Panthers rookie offensive tackle Greg Little is listed as questionable for today’s game against the Saints, but he is expected to start according to Ian Rapoport at NFL Network.
Little has missed most of 2019 in the concussion protocol after he suffered a head injury in the preseason. He made his return to the lineup last week but had issues against Atlanta’s pass rush. However, Little had played well in his limited action before that game and is still the most likely candidate to be the long-term starter at left tackle.
The other contender is sixth-round pick Dennis Daley, who exceeded expectations when he was called up due to Little’s injury. Daley is also listed as questionable with a groin injury but he was a full participant on Friday so he likely will also play. It will be interesting to see where Ron Rivera plays him. Daley may be best-suited at left tackle, but he’s prepared at every position except center.
One other player is questionable: cornerback Ross Cockrell missed last week with a quad injury. Everyone else is healthy and expected to play.
