The Carolina Panthers won't be getting one of their versatile hog mollies back here in Week 9.
Offensive lineman Brady Christensen, who was designated to return to practice on Tuesday, has not been activated ahead of today's matchup against the Denver Broncos. The sixth-year veteran has already missed the first seven games of the campaign due to a hamstring injury.
A struggling offensive will also be without starting left guard Damien Lewis, who was ruled out on Friday because of a knee injury.
Carolina also announced that tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders will be active for the first time here in 2026. With the trade deadline coming up on Tuesday, this afternoon may serve as a small showcase for the 2024 fourth-round pick.
Here's the full list of inactives
for the Panthers:
- QB Haynes King (Emergency QB)
- RB AJ Dillon
- G Damien Lewis
- DT TeRah Edwards
- OLB Jaelan Phillips
- ILB Bobby Okereke
- CB Will Lee III
And for the visiting Broncos:
- QB Sam Ehlinger (Emergency QB)
- WR Lil'Jordan Humphrey
- TE Dallen Bentley
- OL Kage Casey
- CB Kris Abrams-Draine
- S Talanoa Hufanga
