The Carolina Panthers will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers without two of their rookie pass-catchers due to injuries. Tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders and wide receiver Jalen Coker are among the inactives for Sunday's game.

Sanders is recovering from a neck injury sustained last week against the Kansas City Chiefs. Although he has not resumed practice, he was present with his teammates last week. Coker is dealing with a quadriceps injury for the second consecutive week.

Additional players inactive for this week's game include safety Jammie Robinson, cornerback Shemar Bartholomew, cornerback Akayleb Evans, offensive lineman Jarrett Kingston, and defensive tackle Jaden Crumedy.

To bolster their roster, the Panthers have promoted wide receiver Dan Chisena and tight end Stephen Sullivan from the practice squad.

The Buccaneers' inactives list includes safety Tykee Smith, outside linebacker Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, cornerback Tyrek Funderburk, tight end Devin Culp, defensive lineman Earnest Brown, and quarterback Michael Pratt.
