The Panthers have officially ruled guard Trai Turner, defensive tackle Kawann Short and quarterback Cam Newton out for Sunday’s season finale against the Saints. Running back Kenjon Barner is doubtful and left tackle Marshall Newhouse is questionable.
Turner and Short missed practice all week so it’s really no surprise that they won’t suit up on Sunday. We already knew that Newton would miss the game as well, so there’s not much to report that’s breaking news on that front. Kyle Allen will start in his place.
Tyler Larsen will replace Turner on the offensive line, and if Newhouse is unable to play on Sunday then Chris Clark will be his replacement.
