The Carolina Panthers will face the Atlanta Falcons with several key players absent due to injuries. The team's inactive list for Sunday's game highlights the challenges they are facing.

Key starters, including outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (shoulder), right tackle Taylor Moton (foot), linebacker Josey Jewell (hamstring/groin), and tight end Tommy Tremble (concussion) are among those who will not play. Additionally, backup center Andrew Raym is out with a concussion, along with guard Jarrett Kingston and cornerback Shemar Bartholomew.

Moton's absence ends his streak of 104 consecutive starts and 120 consecutive games played, marking a significant moment for the team.

In response to these absences, the Panthers have made roster adjustments. They promoted veteran outside linebacker Marquis Haynes Sr. to the active roster and activated tight end Ian Thomas on Saturday. Defensive tackle T.J. Smith and offensive tackle Brandon Walton were also elevated from the practice squad to provide additional support.

The Falcons' inactives include running back Jase McClellan, linebacker Troy Andersen, defensive lineman Brandon Dorlus, offensive linemen Jovaughn Gwyn and Elijah Wilkinson, tackle Brandon Parker, and defensive lineman Kentavius Street.
