Panthers Week 18 inactives: Who's in and who's out for battle vs. Bucs

The Carolina Panthers have lined up their troops for today's showdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Among those out of the massive NFC South matchup include Pro Bowl right guard Robert Hunt (biceps) and veteran wide receiver David Moore (elbow). Both remain on injured reserve and were officially downgraded out of the contest on Friday afternoon.

Carolina has also ruled out inside linebacker Claudin Cherelus (calf/ankle) and cornerback Robert Rochell (concussion). Cherelus will likely be replaced in the lineup by Krys Barnes, who made a pair of starts between Weeks 12 and 13.

In addition, defensive lineman Tershawn Wharton will remain sidelined. Wharton, who missed the previous two outings due to a hamstring injury, was listed as questionable on Thursday's injury report.

To help make up for some of their absences, the Panthers added linebacker Jacoby Windmon and cornerback David Long Jr. from their practice squad. Both are standard elevations.
