Key Absences Confirmed
The Carolina Panthers have ruled out four players for their Thursday night game against the Green Bay Packers. Starting outside linebacker Jaelan Phillips will miss the contest with a hamstring issue, while left guard Damien Lewis is out due to a knee problem. Fill-in cornerback Akayleb Evans and backup guard Torricelli Simpkins III also will not play. All four were kept out of practice during the week and sustained their setbacks in recent action.
Lineup Adjustments and Depth Concerns
Phillips will sit for a second straight game, leading to a rotation opposite Patrick Jones II that includes Princely Umanmielen, Trevis Gipson and Nick Hampton. Lewis' absence leaves options at left guard that include Corey Bullock or possibly Jake Curhan from the practice squad. Starting defensive lineman Bobby Brown III carries a questionable designation.
Additional Notes
Kicker Ryan Fitzgerald was added to the injury report with an illness but carries no status ahead of kickoff. The Panthers enter the Week 8 matchup with limited healthy options at cornerback on the active roster.
