The Panthers will not have three starters for Monday Night Football.

Linebackers Christian Rozeboom and Trevin Wallace and center Cade Mays were ruled out for the game against the 49ers.

Rozeboom (hip/hamstring) and Wallace (shoulder) missed practice all week, while Mays was added to the report on Friday.

Mays' absence necessitates a ninth different combination of starting offensive lines in 12 weeks. Coach Dave Canales said earlier on Saturday that Austin Corbett will start at center.

The rest of the names on the injury report do not have an injury designation.

Quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) had full practices all week and is good to go, as are cornerback Akayleb Evans (ankle), wide receiver Xavier Legette (hip), wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan (ankle), safety Lathan Ransom (hand) and defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton (knee).

The Lions are getting a pair of cornerbacks back in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

D.J. Reed and Khalil Dorsey have both been activated from injured reserve. Reed has been out since Week 4 with a hamstring injury while Dorsey has missed the same amount of time with a wrist injury.

The Lions will be without Terrion Arnold due to a concussion, so the extra bodies at corner will come in handy.

Safety Erick Hallett and linebacker Ty Summers were waived to make room for Reed and Dorsey on the 53-man roster. The Lions also announced that they have elevated tight end Anthony Firkser from the practice squad for Sunday's game.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed a report that the team has voided the remaining guaranteed money on wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk's deal during his Saturday press conference.

Aiyuk had a guaranteed salary of $26.15 million for the 2026 season, but did not challenge the team's decision. Per the report from TheAthletic.com, Aiyuk, who has not played since Week 7 of last season due to a serious knee injury, "failed to attend meetings and declined to participate in other team activities in recent months.”

Shanahan said that players who are rehabbing often miss team activities because "their schedule is totally different than the rest of the team" while decling to specify exactly why the 49ers decided to take this step in July.

"I've been coaching over 20 years, and I've never been in a situation where a contract's been voided," Shanahan said, via 49ersWebzone.com. "So it was extremely unusual to me. . . . It takes a lot of things to get a contract voided. Honestly, I've never dealt with that in my career or been in any building that's had that. So it was unusual, but that's stuff that I can't get into right now."

Shanahan said that he still hopes Aiyuk can return this season and that the contract decision "doesn't have anything to do with the future" of Aiyuk with the 49ers, but it wouldn't come as a great surprise at this point if Aiyuk has already played his final snaps with the team.
