The New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers announced their inactive lists for Week 7’s matchup, and two notable players will be dressing for the Panthers: cornerbacks Eli Apple and Donte Jackson.
Apple played for the Saints the last year-and-a-half before signing with their cross-division rival as a free agent, but he hasn’t taken a snap on defense for Carolina this year while recovering from a knee injury. That should change with Panthers starting cornerback Rasul Douglas out of action on the COVID-19 reserve list.
And the Saints have some of their own members on the league’s COVID-19 reserve, like wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders and cornerback Ken Crawley.
