CHARLOTTE – Head coach Ron Rivera has already ruled out running back Fozzy Whittaker for Sunday’s Divisional Playoff against the Seahawks. Whittaker, still recovering from an ankle injury, has not been able to practice this week.
"He’s doing the best he can," Rivera said. "He’s working on it and getting better and better."
Fullback Mike Tolbert and rookie running back Cameron Artis-Payne will serve as the backups behind lead back Jonathan Stewart, who is set to return after missing the final three games of the regular season with a foot injury.
