The Carolina Panthers will be a tad lighter in the middle of their defense in Week 15.
Inside linebacker Trevin Wallace has been ruled out from Sunday’s matchup against the Dallas Cowboys due to a shoulder injury. The rookie has been listed as a non-participant in practice throughout the week.
Wallace has recorded 64 combined tackles, 1.0 sack and two forced fumbles over 13 games. Per head coach Dave Canales, Claudin Cherelus will start in Wallace’s place.
Cornerback Jaycee Horn, who is down as questionable, was limited for a third straight outing because of a groin issue. Canales says he’s hopeful that Horn will play.
Carolina’s defense could, however, have outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney—who missed last week’s near-upset of the Philadelphia Eagles due to his knee injury. He is officially questionable for the contest after two full sessions.
