ATLANTA – Defensive end Marquis Haynes will make his regular-season debut when the Panthers open their road schedule Sunday in Atlanta.
Haynes, a fourth-round pick in this year's NFL Draft, was inactive during last week's win over the Cowboys. But with the Falcons likely to pass more than Dallas, Haynes is getting the nod over Bryan Cox Jr., who had two tackles while playing 26 snaps in Week 1.
With guard Trai Turner out with a concussion, Tyler Larsen will start at right guard. And Chris Clark, who joined the Panthers on Wednesday, will open at left tackle allowing Taylor Moton to slide back to his natural position at right tackle.
Here is the full list of Sunday's inactives:
PANTHERS
– WR Curtis Samuel
– WR Damiere Byrd
– TE Greg Olsen
– G Trai Turner
– DE Bryan Cox Jr.
– DE Efe Obada
– LB Andre Smith
FALCONS
– RB Devonta Freeman
– WR Russell Gage
– G Ben Garland
– CB Isiah Oliver
– DE Steven Means
– OT Matt Gono
– DT Justin Zimmer
