Panthers Week 13 inactives: Handful of key players out vs. Rams

If the Carolina Panthers are to pull off a ground-shaking upset here in Week 13, they'll have to do so without a handful of key players.

Among the seven inactives for this afternoon's matchup against the 9-2 Los Angeles Rams is cornerback Jaycee Horn. The Pro Bowl defender and the NFL's interception leader, who sustained a concussion in Monday night's 20-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, was ruled out of the contest on Friday.

That injury report also ruled out inside linebackers Christian Rozeboom (hip/hamstring) and Claudin Cherelus (concussion) as well as center Cade Mays (ankle) and guard Chandler Zavala (calf), who was placed on injured reserve yesterday.

Carolina will not have starting safety Tre'von Moehrig in the lineup either. Moehrig is serving a one-game suspension for his low blow of 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings from the end of the Week 12 defeat.

To fill the voids, the Panthers have signed cornerbacks Robert Rochell and Kalen King to the active roster while elevating offensive lineman Saahdiq Charles and linebacker Isaiah Simmons from the practice squad.

Here is the full list of inactives on the day for the Panthers:

• WR Hunter Renfrow

• C Cade Mays

• DL Jared Harrison-Hunte

• DL Cam Jackson

• ILB Claudin Cherelus

• ILB Christian Rozeboom

• CB Jaycee Horn

And for the visiting Rams:

• QB Stetson Bennett IV

• RB Jarquez Hunter

• OL Beaux Limmer

• DE Desjuan Johnson

• CB Derion Kendrick
