CHARLOTTE —Tight ends Tommy Tremble and Ian Thomas have been ruled out for this week's game against the Saints.
Neither Tremble (hamstring/back) nor Thomas (calf) practiced this week, after they did not participate on Friday.
That leaves three healthy tight ends, including rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders, Jordan Matthews, and newcomer Messiah Swinson, who signed Wednesday.
Backup tackle Yosh Nijman (tibia) was a limited participant Friday, and he's listed as questionable for Sunday's game.
Running back Miles Sanders (finger) and nickel Troy Hill (heel) were full participants Friday and have no game status on the report.
