Panthers declared TE Tommy Tremble, TE Feleipe Franks, LT Ikem Ekwonu, OLB DJ Johnson, CB Shemar Bartholomew and S Jammie Robinson inactive for Week 9 against the Saints.
Tremble was listed as questionable with a back injury, but won’t be able to go against the New Orleans defense. That should lead to more snaps — and hopefully more targets — for Ja’Tavion Sanders.
Las Vegas Review-Journal’s Vincent Bonsignore reports that the “Raiders have made it a point to get third-year tight end Michael Mayer involved in the offense, culminating with a productive minicamp.”
