What happened: The Carolina Panthers and Cleveland Browns issued their final injury reports Friday. Carolina officially ruled out linebackers Devin Lloyd and Claudin Cherelus, as well as safety Nick Scott.

Why it matters: The defensive absences challenge Carolina's depth in the front seven. Wide receivers Jalen Coker and Xavier Legette are listed as questionable, potentially impacting the passing attack.

What to watch: Both teams finalize their active rosters ahead of Sunday's kickoff.
