Defensive tackle Maake Kemoeatu said Wednesday afternoon his injured ankle — specifically his Achilles tendon — is feeling better and he expects to play Sunday against the Saints. “I’m pretty close,” Kemoeatu said. “As far as right now, I think I can go Sunday. I was probably 60 or 70 percent last week, but I’m in the 90s now and should be 100 percent by Sunday.” Kemoeatu, who hadn’t missed a game in his two-plus seasons with the Panthers, twisted his ankle against the Denver Broncos two weeks ago, causing damage to the ligaments around his Achilles tendon.
