Sun Dec 01 23:40:00 UTC 2024: **Panthers Rule Out Rookie Sanders and Coker for Buccaneers Game**
CHARLOTTE, NC – The Carolina Panthers will be without two key rookie players for their Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders, recovering from a neck injury sustained last week, and wide receiver Jalen Coker, dealing with a quadriceps injury, have been ruled out for Sunday’s game.
Several other Panthers players are also inactive, including safety Jammie Robinson, cornerbacks Shemar Bartholomew and Akayleb Evans, offensive lineman Jarrett Kingston, and defensive tackle Jaden Crumedy. To bolster their receiving corps, the team has promoted wide receiver Dan Chisena and tight end Stephen Sullivan from the practice squad.
While Sanders’ neck injury initially caused concern, coach Steve Wilks (or whoever is quoted in the original article) reported that the young tight end is recovering well. Coker’s quadriceps injury will keep him sidelined for a second consecutive week. Despite these absences, the Panthers remain optimistic about their chances against the Buccaneers.
