.
The Carolina Panthers will have their best pass rusher for this afternoon's NFC South showdown.
Despite missing a pair of practices leading into today's Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers , outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney is active for the contest. The three-time Pro Bowler, who is dealing with a knee injury, returned to practice in a limited capacity on Friday and was listed as questionable going into the weekend.

Clowney has recorded 2.5 sacks and a team-leading 27 pressures over nine games.
He will not be joined, as expected, by rookie pass catchers Jalen Coker and tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders. Coker will now miss his second straight game due to a quadriceps injury while Sanders, who was carted off from last Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs , is out with a neck injury.
Wide receiver Dan Chisena and tight end Stephen Sullivan were elevated from the practice squad on Saturday to provide depth for the absences.
Here's the full list of inactives for the Panthers:
-
WR Jalen Coker
-
TE Ja'Tavion Sanders
And for the Buccaneers:
-
TE Devin Culp
-
QB Michael Pratt
-
CB Tykee Smith
