Bank of America Stadium | Carolina Panthers
The Carolina Panthers will face the Philadelphia Eagles without key players, including a veteran pass-rusher and a rookie receiver. Jadeveon Clowney, who has been dealing with a knee issue, did not travel with the team and is listed among the inactives for Sunday's game. Rookie wide receiver Jalen Coker is also inactive after being doubtful on this week's injury report.
Other Panthers not playing include safety Jammie Robinson, cornerbacks Shemar Bartholomew, Akayleb Evans, Caleb Farley, and offensive lineman Jarrett Kingston. This situation opens up an opportunity for sixth-round rookie defensive tackle Jaden Crumedy to make his NFL debut.
To address depth concerns, the Panthers have elevated wide receiver Dan Chisena and linebacker Jacoby Windmon from the practice squad. This marks Chisena's third standard elevation from the practice squad; further participation would require him to be added to the 53-man roster.
For the Eagles, their inactives list includes quarterback Tanner McKee, offensive linemen Darian Kinnard and Trevor Keegan, center/guard Nick Gates, wide receiver/punt returner Britain Covey, and safeties Reed Blankenship and Sydney Brown.
