The Panthers will have DeAngelo Williams in the lineup Sunday, but the Falcons will be without starting left tackle Sam Baker.
As previously reported, Williams's knee is feeling well enough for him to play after missing practice on Friday. Jonathan Stewart, who was also listed as questionable, will be in the lineup as well to give the Panthers a full complement of weapons in the ground game.
They won't have fullback Brad Hoover clearing holes for them as Hoover is still sidelined with a high ankle sprain. Safety Charles Godfrey's ankle is also keeping him on the sideline on Sunday.
Baker will be replaced in the lineup by Will Svitek because his sprained ankle isn't well enough for him to play. The lack of blind side protection may hinder the passing game, but Michael Turner is missing his primary backup on the ground. Running back Jerious Norwood is out for a fourth straight game with a hip injury. Jason Snelling is back in the lineup after missing the last two games, however.
