CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers rookie running back Jonathon Brooks is not expected to play in Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints despite being listed as questionable, coach Dave Canales said Friday.

Canales said veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen and outside linebacker D.J. Wonnum, both designated to return from injured reserve, also won't play against the Saints at Bank of America Stadium.

But Canales expects all three will be ready for next week's game in Munich, Germany.

"Guys that are certainly trending toward where we think they can help us,'' Canales said after Friday's practice.
