Panthers’ Jaycee Horn upgraded on injury report before Saints game

Christian McCaffrey, the star running back for the San Francisco 49ers, is expected to play in Week 15 against the Tennessee Titans despite dealing with an illness that caused him to miss practice earlier in the week. After being a limited participant, he returned to full practice on Friday, alleviating concerns about his availability for the game.

The New Orleans Saints will face the Carolina Panthers in Week 15 without star running back Alvin Kamara, who is sidelined due to a knee injury. The Saints, currently holding a 3-10 record, previously defeated the Panthers 17-7 earlier this season and are coming off a victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Carolina Panthers are positioned to clinch the NFC South title as early as Week 16, contingent upon their performance against the New Orleans Saints. This opportunity arises as both the Panthers and the Buccaneers hold a 7-6 record, following a recent loss by Tampa Bay to New Orleans.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered a significant setback in their playoff aspirations following a shocking loss to the Atlanta Falcons, marking their fourth defeat in five games. This loss comes on the heels of a previous defeat to the New Orleans Saints, leaving the Buccaneers with a precarious 7-6 record as they struggle to maintain their position in the NFC South.

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to an illness, raising concerns just days before the team's Week 15 game against the Tennessee Titans at Levi's Stadium. This marks a notable shift for McCaffrey, who has been healthy throughout the season, prompting alarm among fans and analysts alike.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have placed Jason Pierre-Paul on their practice squad ahead of their crucial Week 15 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The Buccaneers, who have lost four of their last five games, are currently leading the NFC South with a 7-6 record, but their recent performance has raised concerns about their playoff prospects.
