CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers Pro Bowl center Ryan Kalil has been ruled out for Sunday's home game against the New Orleans Saints.
Tyler Larsen, undrafted out of Utah State in 2014, will get his second straight start.
Larsen started this past Sunday's 9-3 win against Buffalo when Kalil was a last-second scratch with what coach Ron Rivera described as a "crick'' in his neck.
Kalil did not practice all week as Larsen took all the first-team snaps. Rivera said the injury is not related to the shoulder surgery that prematurely ended Kalil's 2016 season.
