Panthers Week 15 inactives: 2 WRs down as healthy scratches vs. Falcons
With the rainy and windy forecast now proven to be correct, the Carolina Panthers are preparing to be grounded.
Wideouts Terrace Marshall Jr. and Mike Strachan have been ruled out as healthy scratches for today’s potentially sloppy matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. That’ll leave the Panthers with just four receivers at their disposal—Adam Thielen, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo and Ihmir Smith-Marsette.
Marshall Jr. will be inactive for the fifth straight game. The former second-round pick has amassed 18 receptions for 134 yards in his third NFL season.
Carolina, also in anticipation of a run-heavy approach, called up guards Gabe Jackson and J.D. DiRenzo from their practice squad yesterday afternoon. Both are standard elevations.
Here’s the full list of inactives for the Panthers this afternoon:
CB D’Shawn Jamison
OLB Eku Leota
WR Terrace Marshall Jr.
OT David Sharpe
WR Mike Strachan
TE Ian Thomas
And as for the visiting Falcons:
OLB Bud Dupree
TE John FitzPatrick
WR Mack Hollins
OL Kaleb McGary
QB Logan Woodside (emergency third QB)
