Panthers Week 7 injury report: 6 players ruled out vs. Commanders
The Carolina Panthers defense will be without even more of their starters in Week 7.
Six players have been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Washington Commanders—including defensive lineman A'Shawn Robinson (ankle) as well as inside linebackers Josey Jewell (hamstring/groin) and Claudin Cherelus (hamstring). Cherelus got the starting nod in place of Jewell in last week's loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
On offense, the team will be without starting right tackle Taylor Moton (elbow) for the second straight outing and rookie running back Jonathon Brooks (knee). After being sidelined for the offseason and the first six weeks of the regular season, Brooks was officially designated to return to practice on Wednesday.
In addition, wide receiver Diontae Johnson (ankle)—who returned to the field on Friday after missing the two previous practices—has been listed as questionable.
