Carolina signed Mike Boone off their own practice squad and Boone will backup Chuba Hubbard today. Velus Jones Jr. is also on the depth chart, but will likely replace Blackshear on special teams. Jadeveon Clowney (knee), Josey Jewell (hamstring), and Jaycee Horn (groin) are playing on questionable tags. Also inactive for Carolina are: S Nick Scott, CB Shemar Bartholomew, CB Akayleb Evans, LB Trevin Wallace, OL Jarrett Kingston, and DT Sam Roberts.
The Panthers only ruled one player out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, but they have a number of questionable players.

He came up hurt after tackling DeVonta Smith inside the 10 and immediately wheeled into the locker room. It has the look of an injury that could keep him out for multiple weeks or possibly send him to season-ending IR. Dane Jackson replaced Horn.
Evans and the Panthers' No. 1 CB Jaycee Horn were in each other's face from the first quarter-on, with both players regularly pushing the limits of legal downfield contact. Evans was ultimately the victor, fighting Horn off with his left hand while initially cradling his end zone pass with his extended right hand. The 31-year-old WR remains a weekly WR1 and can be started as such against the banged-up Raiders secondary in Week 14.
