Defensive end Jared Allen suffered a fractured foot late in the Panthers’ victory over the Seattle Seahawks this past weekend and is considered doubtful to suit up for this coming weekend’s matchup.
The 33-year-old potential future Hall of Fame-er however is likely to miss his sixth career game when the Carolina Panthers play the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC Championship Game this Sunday.
Rivera said Stewart – who got four weeks off with a foot sprain – had someone roll on his ankle in last week’s divisional round game against the Seahawks.
Since joining the Panthers via a trade deal from the Chicago Bears early in the 2015 National Football League (NFL) regular season, Allen became a huge part of the Panthers’ defense.
Rivera did not say if Thompson was disciplined by the team for his actions. If they do, the Panthers could promote former starter Wes Horton from the practice squad.
However, if Allen doesn’t play Kony Ealy would get the start against the Cardinals (14-3).
