SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The Panthers will roll out their ninth combination of starting offensive linemen in 12 games, and have a brand new pair of starting linebackers for Monday's game against the 49ers.
With Cade Mays' late ankle injury this week, he's inactive, and Austin Corbett will replace him in the starting lineup tonight.
Corbett started the first two games of the regular season before going on IR, and upon returning, started Week 7 at left guard (win over the Jets), Week 9 at center (win at Green Bay), and at right guard in Week 10 (loss to the Saints).
The Panthers also deactivated linebackers Christian Rozeboom and Trevin Wallace, after they were unable to practice this week because of injuries.
That sets up Claudin Cherelus and practice-squad elevation Krys Barnes to start this week. This is Barnes' third and final evaluation from the practice squad this year, so to appear in another game, he'd need to be signed to the 53. He's started 30 games in his career with the Packers and Cardinals.
Also inactive for the Panthers on Monday are Hunter Renfrow, Jared Harrison-Hunte, James Mitchell, and Cam Jackson.
They also elevated running back DeeJay Dallas from the practice squad this week (his first) to add depth on special teams.
