The New Orleans Saints might not have Michael Thomas back at wide receiver in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers, but it could end up not mattering. The Panthers cornerbacks situation is in a rough state, setting up Saints wideouts Emmanuel Sanders and Tre’Quan Smith for another big day at the office.
On Friday, the Panthers placed starting corner Rasul Douglas on the COVID-19 reserve list after he missed Thursday’s practice session for non-injury reasons. This will keep Douglas out of action for Sunday’s kickoff, which is a problem: he leads Carolina’s cornerbacks in defensive snaps played (369).
