Doubtful: Chris Gamble, Travelle Wharton. Questionable: Jon Beason, Captain Munnerlyn, Ed Johnson and Jason Williams.

Per Steve Reed Twitter.

Beason not playing on Sunday perhaps?!

S Marcus Hudson (ankle) and RB Tyrell Sutton (ankle) are probable. Beason, Panthers' leading tackler, practiced for the first time Friday.

Per Joseph Person Tweet

Armanti returning punts if Cap cant go?

I think some of these guys are stretching these injuries and making them look worse than they are. DeAngelo should be playing. Otah as well.

Nonsense. Whilst a player might not want to go back in a season like this, a doctor or physio can easily tell if a player is faking or not. So if they were not wanting to come back this season just because they couldn't be bothered, I imagine they would run risk of disciplinary problems with the team. Not to mention losing the respect of the players they call team mates.

The coaching staff will clear any player that is fit to play and then the player can throw a hissy from there. However it could be the coaching staff preferring to get a look at other players, so allowing their established stars that extra week to be fully healed.

I'm almost positive IR has something to do with it.

he's been hurt all season.

Damn it, I hope captain isn't out for the falcons, he's been fun to watch. And I just like saying "Captain!!!" when he makes a good play.

How did Beason jump up to be our leading tackler? I thought Anderson was holding that spot

[KillerKat]

Jason Williams out. Nic Harris too. Between Jordan Senn and Abdul Hodge to start. Should be Hodge.

Something else interesting to think about.

People are worried that we will beat Atlanta because they will be resting their starters. In many cases the Panthers have already sat down several starters who could probably have come back to contribute if the season meant anything.

We are down to our 2nd or 3rd string at certain positions, so really by that time who knows who else will be "injured" or sat down because its meaningless.
