Defensive end Marquis Hayes Sr. is dealing with a knee injury, and he is questionable, linebacker Shaq Thompson on the other hand is a game-time decision he is also dealing with a knee injury those two players were able to fully participate in practice on Friday, and are likely to play on Sunday.
It is worth noting furthermore, Christian McCaffery has dealt with a worrisome thigh injury throughout the week leading up to the game, he is likely to play against the 49ers.
Will these Injuries affect the Game-Day Roster?
The Panthers will be without Shenault, he has been a great addition to the Panthers and will be missed in the passing game, although the Panthers still have star wide-receiver D.J Moore and Robby Anderson.
Frankie Luvu as stated previously is questionable to play against the 49ers, he has been a stud on defense for the Panthers, notching his first career interception last week against the Arizona Cardinals. Shaq Thompson will likely play on Sunday, he along with Luvu is a key piece for that Carolina defense following on from his pick-six in Week Four. This game will likely be a test of each team’s defenses, both teams have great defenses and not great offenses
