NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Jaelan Phillips (hamstring) is expected to play in Week 10 against the Saints.
Phillips hasn’t played since Week 6 because of the hamstring issue. One of Carolina’s biggest offseason additions, Phillips was off to a solid start to the year before going down. He had 2.5 sacks in five games, two of which he left early. Getting Phillips back will be a big win for the Panthers’ defense.
