Three questionable linemen are active
Carolina has Brady Christensen, Corey Bullock and Torricelli Simpkins III active for Week 9 despite their questionable designations, giving the offensive line three available players from the injury report. Christensen (hamstring), Bullock (quadricep) and Simpkins (ankle) all participated fully in practice on November 6. Guard Damien Lewis is out with a knee injury after not practicing.
Three defenders ruled out
Linebackers Bobby Okereke and Jaelan Phillips and cornerback Will Lee III are also out and inactive. Okereke has a foot injury; Phillips and Lee have hamstring injuries. None participated in the November 6 practice. Defensive tackle Bobby Brown III, listed with a hand injury, practiced fully and is active.
Young practices fully; seven players inactive
Quarterback Bryce Young participated fully in practice with an ankle injury. Linebacker Trevis Gipson also was a full participant, with his listing tied to a personal matter rather than an injury. Running back AJ Dillon, quarterback Haynes King and defensive tackle TeRah Edwards join Okereke, Lewis, Phillips and Lee on Carolina’s seven-player inactive list.
