The Panthers ruled out LB Devin Lloyd (calf) and S Nick Scott (rib) for Sunday’s game against the Browns. Both guys missed practice all week, with Week 4 also in question. We’ll see their statuses next week.
What They Say
Darvin Gantt and Kassidy Hill of Panthers.com: “Dave Canales said they thought they’d get something out of Lloyd this week, but the question is how he’ll handle the fatigue that comes with a long game like the Panthers did in two weeks.”
Channels: “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 is to give it a week, revisit it next week, and see if we can get him back in that capacity.”
2026 Fantasy Football Impact
Bobby Okereke starts with Devin Lloyd. He will reportedly wear the green dot (relaying defensive play calls in the huddle) and will likely see a boost throughout the playing time.
Tyrel Dodson is expected to run as No. 2 lbs.
Rookie S Zakee Wheatley and second-year S Lathan Ransom combined to fill in after Scott went down in Week 2. Carolina expects that running back, making him unavailable for IDP lineups.
