Panthers RB Stewart inactive for 1st time this season

Carolina running back Jonathan Stewart is inactive for the first time this season Sunday against Atlanta.

Stewart had seen a diminished role the past two weeks. He had only seven carries for 19 yards in last week's win over Tampa Bay, but was still listed as the Panthers' starter. Stewart's exit leaves Christian McCaffrey as the probable starter.

Jacksonville is locked in as the third seed in the AFC, but is sitting only two starters against Tennessee: left tackle Cam Robinson, who left last week's game with an abdominal strain, and receiver Marqise Lee (ankle).

Derrick Henry is getting the first start of his two-year NFL career with DeMarco Murray scratched for the first time since joining the Titans. Murray is out with an injured right knee.

Denver running back Jamaal Charles will sit out against Kansas City, his former team. Charles was a four-time Pro Bowler with the Chiefs, but never found a groove with the Broncos this season. His past month reads like this: No carries in two games, inactive for two games.

Rookie quarterback Patrick Mahomes will start for Kansas City in place of Alex Smith.
