Tuttle (foot) is active Sunday against the Bears. Tuttle hasn't played since Week 2. His return should be a boost to the Panthers' front seven with the Tennessee product locked into a significant role at nose tackle.
Tuttle (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. Tuttle will his second straight game. Nick Thurman started at nose tackle in Tuttle's place last week against the Raiders but played just 17 defensive snaps after the Raiders fell way behind and were unable to run the ball while chasing points on the scoreboard.
Tuttle (foot) didn't practice Thursday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. It appears increasingly likely that Carolina will be without Tuttle for the second consecutive game in Week 4, as the 29-year-old has now opened the Panthers' week of practice with back-to-back DNPs. If Tuttle isn't upgraded to at least limited participation Friday, expect Nick Thurman to serve as Carolina's top nose tackle once again when the Panthers host the Bengals.
Tuttle (foot) didn't practice Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. Tuttle didn't play in the Panthers' Week 3 win over the Raiders after missing the entire week of practice with a foot issue, and he still appears to be nursing the injury. The 28-year-old defensive tackle will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up in Week 4.
Tuttle (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders. Tuttle was listed as doubtful Friday after logging as a DNP for all three practices, and he won't travel with the team to Las Vegas. The 28-year-old nose tackle's next chance at suiting up will be Week 4 against the Bengals on Sept. 29. Nick Thurman is the next man up at nose tackle for the Panthers, and he'll anchor the interior of the defensive line alongside Jayden Peevy and A'Shawn Robinson (knee).
Tuttle (foot) did not participate in Friday's practice and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports. While Tuttle has a shot at playing Sunday, the fact that he has been unable to practice all week means he'll likely have to watch the game from the sidelines. If Tuttle is indeed inactive, Nick Thurman would slide into the starting nose tackle role.
