Questions
Who is out for the Panthers this week?
9 Panthers starters are ruled Out or Doubtful, or on a reserve list for Week 4: Ikem Ekwonu (OT, PUP), Damien Lewis (G, Out), Mike Jackson (CB, IR), Taylor Moton (OT, NFI), Jaycee Horn (CB, IR), Brady Christensen (OT, IR), Tershawn Wharton (DE, PUP), Nic Scourton (LB, IR), Xavier Legette (WR, IR). A starter here means a player who took at least half the team's snaps over his last four games, so depth players are not counted.
When does the Panthers injury report come out?
NFL clubs file a practice report after each practice, usually Wednesday through Friday for a Sunday game, and the Friday report adds Out, Doubtful and Questionable. Final inactives are announced 90 minutes before kickoff. This page rebuilds three times a day as the Panthers file.
Who is out for the Lions?
The Lions have 5 starters ruled Out or Doubtful, or on a reserve list: Cade Mays (C, IR (return)), Avonte Maddox (FS, IR), Brian Branch (S, Out), Kerby Joseph (SAF, PUP), Ben Bartch (G, Out). Their full report, with practice participation and snap share, is on the Lions injury page.
