The Panthers added rookie Tetairoa McMillan to their injury report with an illness on Sunday morning, but they won’t have to go without their top wide receiver against the Seahawks.
McMillan is active for their home game against the NFC West frontrunners. The first-round pick has 65 catches for 924 yards and seven touchdowns so far this season.
The Panthers will win the NFC South on Sunday with a win and a Buccaneers loss to the Dolphins. If they don’t get that combination of results, the two teams will okay for the division crown in Week 18.

The Patriots will have one of their key offensive weapons for Sunday’s game against the Jets.
TreVeyon Henderson has cleared concussion protocol and is expected to play tomorrow, New England announced.
Henderson was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday and Thursday before he was upgraded to a full participant on Friday’s injury report.
A second-round pick in this year’s draft, Henderson leads the Patriots with 776 yards rushing with seven touchdowns, averaging 5.2 yards per carry. He’s also recorded 35 catches for 221 yards with one TD.
Additionally, New England has downgraded fullback Jack Westover to questionable for Sunday’s game with an illness.
The Patriots will not have one of their key receivers for at least the rest of the regular season and the early portion of the postseason.
New England announced on Saturday that receiver Mack Hollins has been placed on injured reserve with an abdominal injury.
Hollins has been a key receiver for the Patriots throughout 2025, as he is third on the club with 46 receptions and 550 yards. He’s also recorded a pair of touchdowns.
As a corresponding move, New England signed defensive lineman Jeremiah Pharms Jr. to the 53-man roster off of the club’s practice squad.
Additionally, defensive lineman Leonard Taylor and defensive back Kobee Minor were elevated to the active roster for Sunday’s game against the Jets.
Last Sunday night’s comeback from an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit at Baltimore helped keep the Patriots alone atop the AFC East, and in the mix for the top seed in the AFC. It also preserved their run at something they’ve only done twice before.
With a win on Sunday at the Jets, the Patriots will finish the regular season with an 8-0 record on the road.
Via NBC Sports research, the Patriots have done it twice before — in 2007 and 2016. Both years, they made it to the Super Bowl.
That said, the road schedule has hardly been daunting. But no NFL team hand picks its slate of games. They just play them.
The ultimate road test for the Patriots will come if they have to face the Broncos in Denver. During the Belichick-led heyday the Patriots were 0-3 in the playoffs at Mile High Stadium.
The Patriots may have running back TreVeyon Henderson in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Jets.
Henderson suffered a concussion in last Sunday’s win over the Ravens, but has made enough progress in the concussion protocol to be listed as questionable for this weekend. The news was not as positive for a couple of other players who suffered head injuries against Baltimore.
Wide receiver Kayshon Boutte and left guard Jared Wilson have both been ruled out for this week. Both players will try to get cleared for Week 18, but the Patriots may wind up resting players against the Dolphins if they clinch the AFC East title this weekend. A win and a Bills loss would make that happen.
Defensive lineman Milton Williams (ankle), linebacker Robert Spillane (ankle), defensive lineman Khyiris Tonga (foot), wide receiver Mack Hollins (abdomen), and edge rusher Harold Landry (knee) have also been ruled out. Wide receiver Pop Douglas (hamstring) joins Henderson with a questionable designation.
