NEW ORLEANS - Veteran defensive end Charles Johnson, cornerback Kevon Seymour and guard Amini Silatolu are among the Panthers' inactives for Sunday's playoff game against the Saints.
Johnson returned from a four-game suspension for last week's regular season finale at the Falcons but played just 17 of 72 defensive snaps. Julius Peppers and Mario Addision - who tied for the team lead with 11 sacks - will be joined in the defensive end rotation by Wes Horton and Bryan Cox Jr.
Seymour, who was added to the injury report Saturday with an illness that affected several players during the week, has split reps at times with Daryl Worley at outside corner but played just 12 defensive snaps against the Falcons. Silatolu started the last three games at right guard in place of Trai Turner, who is out of the concussion protocol and back in the starting lineup.
