Panthers Week 15 inactives: 2 big-name starting defenders active vs. Cowboys

As expected, Panthers OLB Jadeveon Clowney and CB Jaycee Horn are both up against the Cowboys today.

Despite a smidgeon of doubt, the Carolina Panthers will have two pretty big names in uniform for Week 15.

As expected, outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney and cornerback Jaycee Horn are active for this afternoon’s matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Both were listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report.

Clowney returns after missing out on last week’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles due to a shoulder issue. Horn, who has yet to sit out from a game this season, has been dealing with a bothersome groin.

The Panthers will not, however, have running back and return specialist Raheem Blackshear. Blackshear, whose 705 yards on kickoff returns rank second in the NFL, is down with a chest injury.

As a result, and along with the season-ending ACL tear to rookie Jonathon Brooks, Carolina elevated seventh-year rusher Mike Boone from the practice squad on Saturday. He is expected to back up starter Chuba Hubbard.

Here’s the full list of inactives on the day for the Panthers:

  • CB Shemar Bartholomew
  • RB Raheem Blackshear
  • CB Akayleb Evans
  • OL Jarrett Kingston
  • DT Sam Roberts
  • S Nick Scott
  • ILB Trevin Wallace

And for the visiting Cowboys:

  • C Cooper Beebe
  • CB Trevon Diggs
  • WR Ryan Flournoy
  • S Juanyeh Thomas
  • DE Tyrus Wheat
  • RB Deuce Vaughn

Panthers Week 14 inactives: TE Ja’Tavion Sanders active vs. Eagles

The Panthers are expecting to see the return of rookie TE Ja’Tavion Sanders, the team’s third-leading receiver in 2024.

The Carolina Panthers may not have one of their very top defenders at their disposal here in Week 14, but at least they’re getting back one of their top pass catchers.

As expected, tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders is active and is expected to make his return for today’s matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. The rookie was carted off from Week 12’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs after sustaining a scary neck injury and did not play the next week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Sanders is the third-leading receiver for the Panthers this season, behind only fellow rookie Xavier Legette and the departed Diontae Johnson—who was traded to the Baltimore Ravens on Oct. 29. The 2024 fourth-round selection has reeled in 29 receptions for 302 yards and a touchdown.

Carolina will not, however, have outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney—the team leader in sacks (3.5) and pressures (30). The three-time Pro Bowler, who was listed as questionable for the contest on Friday, was downgraded to out on Saturday due to a knee injury.

Here is the full list of inactives on the afternoon for the Panthers:

  • CB Shemar Bartholomew
  • OLB Jadeveon Clowney
  • WR Jalen Coker
  • CB Akayleb Evans
  • CB Caleb Farley
  • OL Jarrett Kingston
  • S Jammie Robinson
  • S Nick Scott

And for the host Eagles:

  • S Reed Blankenship
  • S Sydney Brown
  • WR Britain Covey
  • OL Nick Gates
  • G Trevor Keegan
  • OT Darian Kinnard
  • QB Tanner McKee (Emergency QB)

Panthers Week 13 inactives: 7 players out vs. Buccaneers

A pair of standout rookie pass catchers headline today’s inactives for the Panthers.

The Carolina Panthers will have their best pass rusher for this afternoon’s NFC South showdown.

Despite missing a pair of practices leading into today’s Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney is active for the contest. The three-time Pro Bowler, who is dealing with a knee injury, returned to practice in a limited capacity on Friday and was listed as questionable going into the weekend.

Clowney has recorded 2.5 sacks and a team-leading 27 pressures over nine games.

He will not be joined, as expected, by rookie pass catchers Jalen Coker and tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders. Coker will now miss his second straight game due to a quadriceps injury while Sanders, who was carted off from last Sunday’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, is out with a neck injury.

Wide receiver Dan Chisena and tight end Stephen Sullivan were elevated from the practice squad on Saturday to provide depth for the absences.

Here’s the full list of inactives for the Panthers:

  • CB Shemar Bartholomew
  • WR Jalen Coker
  • DL Jaden Crumedy
  • CB Akayleb Evans
  • OL Jarrett Kingston
  • S Jammie Robinson
  • TE Ja’Tavion Sanders

And for the Buccaneers:

  • DL Earnest Brown IV
  • TE Devin Culp
  • CB Tyrek Funderburk
  • QB Michael Pratt
  • OLB Joe Tryon-Shoyinka
  • CB Tykee Smith

Panthers Week 12 inactives: WR Jalen Coker out vs. Chiefs

The Panthers won’t have one of their standout rookie receivers for today’s matchup against the Chiefs.

The Carolina Panthers won’t have one of their standout rookies for this afternoon’s battle with the Kansas City Chiefs.

As announced by the team about an hour and a half before today’s kickoff, wide receiver Jalen Coker will not be active against the defending Super Bowl champions. The 23-year-old did not participate in Friday’s practice due to a quadriceps injury and was listed as questionable coming into the weekend.

Coker, an undrafted free-agent signee from this past spring, has recorded 17 catches for 263 yards and a touchdown over seven career games. His 263 receiving yards are currently the 11th-most by any rookie this season.

Luckily for the Panthers, they will be getting back fellow wideout Adam Thielen—who is set to return after missing seven games with a hamstring injury. The 11th-year veteran led Carolina in targets (137), receptions (103) and receiving yards (1,014) in 2023.

Here’s the full list of inactives for the Panthers in Week 12:

  • CB Shemar Bartholomew
  • WR Jalen Coker
  • DL Jaden Crumedy
  • OLB Thomas Incoom
  • OLB DJ Johnson
  • OL Jarrett Kingston
  • S Jammie Robinson

And for the visiting Chiefs . . .

  • OT Ethan Driskell
  • RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire
  • OL C.J. Hanson
  • DE Cameron Thomas
  • DT Marlon Tuipulotu

Panthers Week 5 inactives: Josey Jewell, 5 others out vs. Bears

As expected, the Panthers will be without starting ILB Josey Jewell against the Bears this afternoon.

The Carolina Panthers deemed six players as inactive for this afternoon’s matchup against the Chicago Bears, including starting inside linebacker Josey Jewell.

Jewell, who was already ruled out of the contest on Friday’s injury report, is currently dealing with hamstring and groin issues. Through four games, the 29-year-old veteran has amassed 30 combined (second-most on the team) with three passes defensed and a fumble recovery.

Carolina’s defense is also without fellow starting inside ‘backer Shaq Thompson, who was officially placed on injured reserve yesterday. The longtime Panther will miss the remainder of the 2024 campaign after tearing his Achilles tendon in the Week 4 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Rookie Trevin Wallace and veteran Claudin Cherelus are expected to start in place of Jewell and Thompson.

Head coach Dave Canales talked about the two earlier this week.

“Yeah, Claudin Cherelus is gonna have a great opportunity to play some football for us,” Canales said to reporters on Monday. “A guy that really took strides in camp, and a guy that we’re definitely looking forward to seeing out there to play football. For he and Trevin [Wallace] to start communicating and be able to work with the whole group.”

Here is the full list of inactives for the Panthers in Week 5:

  • RB Mike Boone
  • LB Josey Jewell
  • G Jarrett Kingston
  • DE Jayden Peevy
  • C Andrew Raym
  • S Russ Yeast

And here’s who is down for the Bears:

  • FB Khari Blasingame
  • WR Velus Jones Jr.
  • DL Zacch Pickens
  • DL Dominique Robinson
  • DB Terell Smith

Panthers Week 1 inactives: 7 players deactivated for opener vs. Saints

The Panthers named seven inactives for their regular-season opener in New Orleans.

The Carolina Panthers have listed seven inactives ahead of this afternoon’s regular-season opener against the New Orleans Saints.

Those players are as follows:

  • CB Shemar Bartholomew
  • G Jarrett Kingston
  • DL LaBryan Ray
  • C Andrew Raym
  • S Jammie Robinson
  • TE Messiah Swinson
  • TE Tommy Tremble

With Tremble down due to a hamstring injury and Ian Thomas now on injured reserve with a lingering calf issue, the Panthers are expected to start rookie tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders in what will be his first official NFL game. The fourth-round pick earned rave reviews from head coach Dave Canales earlier this summer.

“So JT is taking those steps that we’re looking for,” Canales said of the 21y-year-old during training camp. “Made a big play at Fan Fest to end it, to end the scrimmage on a corner. Had a couple nice plays today, nice catches. He’s doin’ it. He’s making the most of his opportunity. It’s pushed him right up with that first group, to be able to show the guys you can count on him and he’s been really dependable with that.”

Sanders will be backed by veteran Jordan Matthews and Feleipe Franks, who was signed to the active roster on Saturday.

Panthers announce new uniform numbers for 6 players

There’s a new No. 0 in town for the Carolina Panthers.

Carolina Panthers tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders has his own number.

On Monday, the team announced new uniform numbers for six players ahead of the 2024 regular season. The rookie pass catcher headlined the switches, as he’ll be going from No. 85 to No. 0.

Sanders, Carolina’s fourth-round pick from this year’s draft, wore No. 0 during his final two seasons for the University of Texas Longhorns. And that number saw some numbers—as he reeled in 99 receptions for 1,295 yards and seven touchdowns en route to a pair of First-team All-Big 12 selections in 2022 and 2023.

Shortly after being selected by the Panthers, Sanders told reporters that he was planning on claiming his digit—but also admitted that he had to earn it first.

“That’s the plan,” he said with a smile. “If I’m lucky enough to get 0, then I’m definitely taking it for sure.”

The 21-year-old will be the second player in franchise history to don No. 0—which was first worn by Brian Burns in 2023.

All six uniform number adjustments are as follows:

  • TE Ja’Tavion Sanders: No. 0
  • CB Mike Jackson: No. 2
  • CB Keenan Isaac: No. 12
  • CB Shemar Bartholomew: No. 27
  • CB Tariq Castro-Fields: No. 29
  • G Jarrett Kingston: No. 61

Panthers updated 53-man roster following Wednesday’s waiver claims

The Panthers added six new faces on Wednesday.

The Carolina Panthers and general manager Dan Morgan put their top spot on the waiver wire to good use on Wednesday, claiming a total of six players following the league’s initial roster cutdowns.

Here’s a fresh look at Carolina’s roster following the additions:

49ers lose 4 players, including 2 promising rookies, to other teams

After spending camp in Santa Clara, a pack of four former 49ers were claimed through waivers on Wednesday.

Following the final wave of cuts on deadline day, players went through the waiver process on Wednesday before becoming free agents. After the 53-player cutdown day on Tuesday, four former members of the San Francisco 49ers landed with new teams, including three players being claimed on Wednesday.

Rookies Jarret Kingston and Cody Schrader were claimed, along with former starting defensive back Samuel Womack. Kingston and Schrader each flashed in the preseason. Kingston was claimed by the Carolina Panthers and former Missouri All-American running back Schrader landed with the division rival Los Angeles Rams. Womack was claimed by the Colts.

Via @MaioccoNBCS on Twitter:

 

Along with losing Kingston, Womack and Schrader, the 49ers will also be without linebacker Jalen Graham. According to Eric Branch of The San Francisco Chronicle, the Washington Commanders have claimed Graham. Graham was drafted in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL draft out of Purdue.

Via @Eric_Branch on Twitter:

As final rosters are still being finalized with different moves, the 49ers were awarded no waiver claims on Wednesday.

Panthers announce waiver claims for 6 players on Wednesday

The Panthers officially announced their claims for six players on Wednesday.

Yes, guys. It’s official. It’s confirmed. The deals are sealed.

Following yesterday’s cutdowns to this season’s initial 53-man rosters, the Carolina Panthers announced waiver claims for six players on Wednesday afternoon. The group features former Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Keenan Isaac, former New York Jets cornerback Shemar Bartholomew, former Washington Commanders cornerback Tariq Castro-Fields, former Seattle Seahawks linebackers Jamie Sheriff and Jon Rhattigan and former San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Jarrett Kingston.

Carolina’s fresh trio of cornerbacks is headlined by Isaac, who had a standout preseason for the divisional rival Bucs. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound defensive back earned a 90.2 coverage grade from Pro Football Focus over his three exhibition outings on the summer.

To make room for the claims, the Panthers also announced the departures of six players from their initial 53-man roster—wide receivers Ihmir Smith-Marsette and Jalen Coker, offensive lineman Cade Mays, defensive lineman Jayden Peevy, cornerback D’Shawn Jamison and safety Demani Richardson.
