Week 2 Inactives at Atlanta: Pat Jones out for Falcons game
ATLANTA — The Panthers will be without a couple of starters on defense Sunday against the Falcons.
Outside linebacker Patrick Jones II, who was questionable with a back injury, was among the inactives for Week 2.
Jones was listed as questionable on the injury report, and practiced all week on a limited basis. But head coach Dave Canales said they'd take the decision up to Sunday, and that their priority would be a player's long-term health. Jones missed most of last season after having back surgery, but this is a different issue.
Also inactive is defensive tackle Bobby Brown III, who was held out of practice all week with a back issue of his own.
With those absences, Cam Jackson will be active this week, and the rotation of Trevis Gipson, Princely Umanmielen, and Thomas Incoom will continue to work in Jones' spot.
The rest of the inactive list includes tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders, emergency third quarterback Haynes King, cornerback Chau Smith-Wade, linebacker Tyrel Dodson, and rookie tackle Albert Reese.
