The entire calvary won't be back for the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
As announced this afternoon, running back Jonathon Brooks, offensive lineman Brady Christensen and cornerback Mike Jackson have all been downgraded out of Sunday's matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
Christensen, who was listed as questionable for the contest on Friday, has yet to play in a regular-season game here in 2026 due to a hamstring injury. He was designated to return to practice last week, ahead of the team's 26-21 loss to the Denver Broncos.
Brooks and Jackson, both of whom are recovering from groin injuries, were designated to return to practice on Wednesday. They were down as doubtful after being limited throughout the week.
On the bright side, the team has activated
wide receiver Xavier Legette from injured reserve. Legette was also designated to return on Wednesday.
Carolina also announced that they've elevated cornerbacks Marco Wilson and Corey Thornton for tomorrow's tilt.
