The Panthers face the Saints in the 2020 season finale on Sunday, and they have ruled several key players as doubtful. Christian McCaffrey, Mike Davis, Russell Okung, Brian Burns and Troy Pride Jr. are not expected to play and are all but officially ruled out.
Panthers injury report for Saints game:
Doubtful: DE Brian Burns (shoulder), RB Christian McCaffrey (quad), RB Mike Davis (ankle), OT Russell Okung (calf), CB Troy Pride Jr. (hip).
Matt Rhule indicated all are very doubtful, ie, won't play.— Joe Person (@josephperson) January 1, 2021With Okung expected to miss Sunday’s game and Trent Scott on injured reserve, that means Michael Schofield is expected to start in his place, with Aaron Monteiro as the backup.
