Panthers injury report: LB David Mayo and RB Jonathan Stewart are OUT. S Colin Jones doubtful. TE Greg Olsen & CB Charles Tillman probable.

Max Henson ‏@PanthersMax  1m1 minute ago

CB Tillman (knee) & TE Olsen (knee) listed probable. "Feel really good about Charles," Rivera said. "We'll line him up & be ready to roll."

[AceBoogie]

Pretty big if Tillman can stay healthy.

Bryan Strickland ‏@PanthersBryan  4m4 minutes ago

"We feel comfortable with what we've got" on special teams with Mayo and likely Jones out. McClain has experience. Dean Marlowe could play.

With David Mayo out, Dean Marlowe will be up. For those who have asked this week, wouldn’t expect Brandon Wegher to be active.

Ron Rivera says he expects rookie RB Cameron Artis-Payne to play early vs. Giants.

Bryan Strickland ‏@PanthersBryan  3m3 minutes ago

"I expect to see Cameron in there early,"Rivera says of Artis-Payne while saying Fozzy Whittaker will get start at RB.

Ron Rivera says he still hasn't made up his mind as to whether he'll rest starters if/when Panthers clinch home-field advantage.

Asked Ron Rivera if Odell Beckham was on his Pro Bowl ballot: "Oh, yeah."

#KeepPounding to Colin Jones, but in a way I am relieved that he won't be in the lineup. Hopefully the combination of JNo, Peanut, and Finnegan will be enough to contain OBJ. I think it will. Finnegan played well last week.

[Mage]

He's a bad corner, but losing Colin Jones hurts our special teams unit.  They will need to play well given Dwayne Harris is a fantastic returner.

Wonder how Tillman plays?  If it were me I'd probably be a little nervous knowing I have a partial tear.

It should be a no-brainer. After clinching home field, then treat the last 2 games like the preseason. Only have starters out there for the 1st quarter or less.
