Panthers release initial depth chart for Week 12 matchup vs. 49ers

After mounting a comeback to capture an overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons, the Carolina Panthers will try to mine for some more gold in Week 12. They’ll look to improve on their 6-5 mark this Monday night, when they travel out west to take on the San Francisco 49ers.

Here, as released on Tuesday, is the team’s initial depth chart for their primetime showcase:

QuarterbackFirst string: Bryce YoungSecond string: Andy DaltonRunning backFirst string: Rico DowdleSecond string: Chuba HubbardThird string: Trevor EtienneWide receiverFirst string: Xavier Legette, Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen CokerSecond string: Jimmy Horn Jr., Brycen Tremayne, Hunter RenfrowTight endFirst string: Ja’Tavion SandersSecond string: Tommy TrembleThird string: Mitchell EvansFourth string: James MitchellLeft tackleFirst string: Ikem EkwonuLeft guardFirst string: Damien LewisSecond string: Austin CorbettCenterFirst string: Cade MaysSecond string: Nick SamacRight guardFirst string: Chandler ZavalaSecond string: Jake CurhanRight tackleFirst string: Taylor MotonSecond string: Yosh NijmanDefensive endFirst string: Derrick Brown, Tershawn WhartonSecond string: LaBryan Ray, Bobby Brown IIIThird string: Jared Harrison-HunteDefensive tackleFirst string: A’Shawn RobinsonSecond string: Cam JacksonOutside linebackerFirst string: D.J.

With no new injuries and no new additions to the active roster, the depth chart remains the same from Week 11. But the inside linebacker spot, for the second straight week, is worth keeping an eye on.

Both of their starters, Trevin Wallace and Christian Rozeboom, may not suit up. Wallace missed the victory in Atlanta due to a shoulder injury while Rozeboom made an early exit with a hamstring issue.

The Panthers, to provide depth in Wallace’s absence, elevated veteran Krys Barnes from the practice squad ahead of their showdown with the Falcons. He should be a candidate to return to the sideline given the uncertainty on both Wallace and Rozeboom.
