Panthers inactives against Washington
QB Matt Barkley, WR Shi Smith, S Kenny Robinson, CB Rashaan Melvin, DT Phil Hoskins.
Cornerback Stantley Thomas-Oliver was the only Panthers player to carry an injury designation into the weekend. He has been dealing with a toe injury that forced him to be inactive for Carolina’s previous two games. Thomas-Oliver was estimated as a limited participant in the Panthers’ Friday walkthrough.
Defensive ends Marquis Haynes Sr (foot) and Yetur Gross-Matos (ankle), corner Rashaan Melvin (hand) and linebacker Frankie Luvu (shoulder) were all listed on the Panthers injury report but did not carry an injury designation into the weekend. All but Melvin avoided the inactive list for the Panthers against Washington.
Haynes didn’t practice on Wednesday but was a full participant on Thursday and Friday. Luvu was limited on Wednesday before also being a full participant Thursday and Friday. Melvin was a full participant all week while Gross-Matos didn’t appear on the injury report until Friday, although he was listed as a full participant.

The Panthers activated veteran offensive guard John Miller ahead of Sunday’s game. Miller has missed four games due to COVID-19 and then an ankle injury. Washington’s most notable absence will be wide receiver Curtis Samuel.
The headline of Sunday’s game will be the return of Cam Newton to Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. Newton will also be facing off against his former head coach Ron Rivera. Newton’s return to the Panthers last week sparked the team, as he accounted for two touchdowns on his first two snaps. He is in line to make his first start of the season against Washington.
The Panthers enter the weekend at 5-5 on the season, currently holding a wildcard spot in the NFC. Carolina beat the Arizona Cardinals last week 34-10. Washington is coming off of a victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, improving them to 3-6 on the season.
