The Panthers announced on Monday afternoon that they’ve placed eight players on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Placed on the list by Carolina includes wide receivers DJ Moore and Curtis Samuel, defensive tackles Derrick Brown and Zach Kerr, linebacker Shaq Thompson, tackle Greg Little, and punter Michael Palardy.
The eighth player is wide receiver Ishmael Hyman, who is on the practice squad. The Panthers didn’t disclose if any players had tested positive for COVID-19 or if they were determined to be high-risk contacts of someone who had tested positive. Either scenario could land a player on the list.
It’s unknown if the players on the list will be able to play in Sunday’s home game against the Denver Broncos. Running back Christian McCaffrey is expected to play in the game against Denver, as coach Matt Rhule says that the young back should be healthy enough to play.
