CHARLOTTE – The Panthers are adding variety on offense this week as they look to spark something when they have the ball.
Wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. tops the inactive list this week, the only somewhat unexpected name due to injuries and numbers at other positions.
With Laviska Shenault Jr. returning after missing the last three games with an ankle injury and Mike Strachan stepping up for the week after a 45-yard strike in Chicago a week ago, the Panthers are looking at other options elsewhere Position in the squad decided instead of keeping Marshall moved up as the seventh receiver.
The rest of the inactives were fairly predictable, with rookie backup offensive linemen Ricky Lee and Nash Jensen joining the list and three players already out with injury.
This group includes tight end Hayden Hurst, cornerback CJ Henderson and outside linebacker Marquis Haynes Sr.
With Henderson out and Jaycee Horn not yet activated, the Panthers will use Dicaprio Bootle at cornerback opposite Donte Jackson.
They activated linebacker Tae Davis, who signed this week to play special teams depth.
