Drew Brees, DeMarco Murray, Luke Kuechly all inactive
Drew Brees, DeMarco Murray and Luke Kuechly are among the inactives for Sunday's NFL games.
When New Orleans visits Carolina, the Saints will be without Brees at quarterback because of injury for the first time since 2006. Brees is sidelined with a shoulder injury.
For the Panthers, their star linebacker Kuechly is out because of a concussion.
Philadelphia lines up against the New York Jets without Murray, the star running back who came over from Dallas this season who is out with a strained hamstring. He has been limited to 11 yards on 21 carries in his first two games with the Eagles.
Among the actives are running back Todd Gurley for the Rams, quarterback Geno Smith for the Jets.
