Rhattigan (knee) was a full participant at the Panthers' practice Thursday. Rhattigan was forced to miss the team's Week 7 loss to the Commanders due to a knee injury and an illness, but the linebacker now appears to be all set to play Sunday in Denver. Rhattigan has produced four total tackles (three solo) while playing exclusively with the special-teams unit in six games this season.
Rhattigan (knee/illness) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders. Rhattigan was unable to practice all week due to a knee injury and an illness, so it's no surprise he'll miss Carolina's Week 7 contest. The Army product had appeared in all six of the Panthers' games prior to his injury, recording four total tackles across 122 special-teams snaps.
Rhattigan was claimed off waivers by the Panthers on Wednesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. Rhattigan was let go by the Seahawks on Tuesday after he compiled 13 total tackles (six solo), including a sack, during the preseason with Seattle. He will now look to impress with Carolina, opening the season as a depth option at interior linebacker behind the likes of Shaq Thompson and Josey Jewell.
