Panthers rule out Jaelan Phillips Bobby Okereke Damien Lewis and Will Lee III vs. Denver
Carolina ruled out Jaelan Phillips Damien Lewis Bobby Okereke and Will Lee III for Sunday vs. the Broncos after none practiced this week.
Carolina's injury report got uglier on Friday.
The Panthers ruled out outside linebacker Jaelan Phillips (hamstring) left guard Damien Lewis (knee) linebacker Bobby Okereke (foot) and rookie cornerback Will Lee III (hamstring) for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos.
None of those four starters practiced this week.
Line still thin
Offensive tackle Corey Bullock (quadriceps) and offensive guard Torricelli Simpkins III (ankle) are questionable though both were full participants on Friday.
The only other designation belongs to offensive lineman Brady Christensen (hamstring) whose 21-day return-to-practice window opened this week but who still needs to be activated.
Broncos next
Carolina hosts Denver on Sunday looking to stay competitive without four defensive and offensive starters sidelined together.
Phillips Lewis Okereke and Lee had all been listed as non-participants throughout the week before the final designations landed Friday afternoon.
