Panthers Injury Report
Panthers Rule Out Devin Lloyd and Nick Scott Ahead of Browns Game
Anonymous
The Panthers ruled out linebacker Devin Lloyd and safety Nick Scott for their game against Cleveland. Receiver Jalen Coker is expected to play despite an ankle injury, while Xavier Legette is a game-time decision with a knee issue. Jaelan Phillips missed practice with a back injury, and running back Jonathon Brooks remains on injured reserve after core-muscle surgery. In other games, Saints receiver and returner Barion Brown and defensive lineman Christen Miller are out against Las Vegas; the supplied report also says the Raiders have at least one player ruled out and three listed as questionable, without identifying them.
Key Points
1
Saints coach Kellen Moore said Barion Brown’s return duties would be handled by committee. With Brown out, the team had only four receivers available for Sunday unless it promoted Kevin Austin Jr. from the practice squad.
2
Devin Lloyd had just earned NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors after a strong game in Atlanta. Coach Dave Canales said Lloyd’s calf issue flared up after the game as the adrenaline wore off.
3
Jonathon Brooks is expected to miss at least six weeks after core-muscle surgery, leaving starter Chuba Hubbard with a heavier workload and limited backup support.
4
Before their Friday designations, Carolina’s receiver injuries threatened to thin out the league’s second-highest-scoring offense. John Metchie and Brycen Tremayne were next in line, and David Moore could be promoted from the practice squad.
