CHARLOTTE – Russell Okung was listed as questionable heading into Saturday night's game but wasn't close enough to play against the Packers.
The Panthers left tackle is among the Panthers' inactives because of the calf injury that popped up in last week's loss to the Broncos. This will be his seventh missed game of the season and will leave Trent Scott to make his third start of the year at left tackle. The Panthers are thin up front after Greg Little was placed on injured reserve with a knee and ankle injury suffered in practice Wednesday.
As expected, running back Christian McCaffrey is also inactive. The Panthers are holding out hope that he can return at some point in the next two weeks, resisting the urge to park him for the year. He's played in just three games because of a combination of ankle, shoulder, and thigh injuries.
