CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers announced their list of inactives for Sunday’s game at Bank of America Stadium.
New Orleans’ inactives are safety Vonn Bell (knee), safety Marcus Williams (groin), cornerback Eli Apple (ankle), fullback Zach Line, linebacker Manti Te'o, DE Noah Spence and offensive lineman Ethan Greenidge.
That left the Saints without three starters in the secondary, increasing the odds that Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey get the 67 receiving yards he needs to become the third player in NFL history to have 1,000 yards rushing and receiving in the same season.
