Panthers Game Today: Panthers vs Saints injury report, spread, over/under, schedule, live Stream, TV channel

The Carolina Panthers are aiming to start their 2021 season with a 2-0 record, with their NFC South rival New Orleans Saints standing in the way this afternoon at Bank of America Stadium. This should be a better indicator as to where Matt Rhule’s men are in terms of any potential playoff ambitions, but hopes are definitely high following an opening day victory over the New York Jets.

If Week 1 was a smooth route into the season, this Sunday promises to be a much sterner test. The Saints are coming into the game on the back of a sensational win over the Green Bay Packers, which was made all the more impressive considering the change in location and to the team’s preparations thanks to the devastation of Hurricane Ida.

Carolina should get better as the season goes on. This is a young team with some outstanding talent that displayed encouraging signs against the Jets, but some problems need to be worked out in the weeks and months ahead if the Panthers want to truly progress after two consecutive 5-11 campaigns.

It’ll be a fascinating matchup between two old foes. One that could very well shape Carolina’s 2021 season.

Panthers Injury Report vs Saints Week 2

Carolina has a clean bill of health in Week 2. Taylor Moton and DaQuan Jones were limited in practice on Thursday and Friday, but the influential duo don’t have an injury designation for the contest.

This could mean a competitive debut for rookie wide receiver Shi Smith out of South Carolina, who could be tasked with kick return responsibilities providing he’s recovered enough from a shoulder problem suffered during the preseason.

That is not the case with the Saints, who are dealing with some significant injury problems and also have a number of assistant coaches missing who are currently going through COVID-19 protocols.

The following New Orleans players are out in Week 2:

• Kwon Alexander – LB
• Marcus Davenport – DE
• Chase Hansen – LB
• Erik McCoy – C
• Pete Werner – LB

The following Saints players are listed as questionable for Week 2:

• C.J. Gardner-Johnson – DB
• Tanoh Kpassagnon – DE
• Marshon Lattimore – CB
• P.J. Williams – DB
