A pair of injured Panthers players are among the club’s inactives for Saturday’s game vs. Arizona.

Reserve safety Thomas DeCoud (hamstring) and starting outside linebacker A.J. Klein (ankle) have been officially ruled out, according to the club. Adarius Glanton could get the call in place of Klein.

The Panthers’ other inactives are defensive end Frank Alexander, cornerback James Dockery, offensive tackle David Foucault, defensive tackle Kyle Love and offensive guard Amini Silatolu.

While the Panthers will be without Klein and DeCoud, they will officially have tailback DeAngelo Williams back in the lineup after he missed time with a hand injury. However, Jonathan Stewart has thrived as Carolina’s featured back in Williams’ absence, and Stewart will start on Saturday, according to the club.

Quarterback Drew Stanton (knee) and reserve offensive guard Jonathan Cooper (wrist/knee) headline the Cardinals’ inactives, which were announced on the club’s website. Stanton had been ruled out, while Cooper was questionable. Ryan Lindley will start for Stanton.

Safety Chris Clemons, wide receiver Brittan Golden, defensive end Kareem Martin, offensive guard Anthony Steen and nose tackle Alameda Ta’amu are the Cardinals’ other inactives.
