Saints announce inactive players for Week 1 game vs. Panthers

The New Orleans Saints reported their list of inactive players for the season debut against the Carolina Panthers. The Saints ruled four players out earlier in the week, with three others questionable. Among them was wide receiver A.T. Perry, who was questionable to play with a hand injury and is inactive.

So is rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler, who will still dress as the emergency third quarterback. But he can only go into the game if both Derek Carr and Jake Haener are injured.
