The Panthers have ruled LB Devin Lloyd (calf) and S Nick Scott (rib) out for Sunday's game against the Browns. Both guys missed practice all week, which puts Week 4 in question as well. We'll check their statuses next week.
What They're Saying
Darvin Gantt & Kassidy Hill of Panthers.com: "Dave Canales said that they thought they could have gotten something out of Lloyd this week, but it became a question of how he'd handle the fatigue that came with a long game like the Panthers have played through two weeks."
Canales: "He gave it his best shot. We got him out there and ran him a little bit even today, just to see where he's at. ... The best decision for Devin was to give it a week, revisit it next week, and see if we can build him back up to that capacity."
2026 Fantasy Football Impact
Bobby Okereke has been starting alongside Devin Lloyd. He'll reportedly wear the green dot (relaying defensive play calls in the huddle) and likely see a boost to full playing time.
Tyrel Dodson is expected to run as the No. 2 LB.
Rookie S Zakee Wheatley and second-year S Lathan Ransom combined to fill in after Scott went down in Week 2. Carolina expects to run that back, which makes neither usable for IDP lineups.
