The Carolina Panthers added defensive tackle Derrick Brown to the reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday.
Brown is the team’s third player on the list, joining third-string quarterback Matt Barkley and injured running back Christian McCaffrey.
Brown, 23, will miss Sunday’s game in Buffalo between the Panthers (5-8) and Bills (7-6).
A first-round pick (seventh overall) in the 2020 NFL Draft, Brown has 36 tackles and two sacks in 13 games (12 starts) this season.
The Panthers also activated cornerback Stantley Thomas-Oliver III, who was designated to return from injured reserve earlier this week. He has six tackles in eight games this season.
