CHARLOTTE — Two of the Panthers’ starting offensive linemen did not participate in the short week’s first practice.

Both left tackle Russell Okung (calf) and right guard John Miller (ankle) were sidelined Monday during what was more of a walkthrough following Sunday’s loss to the Saints.

Head coach Matt Rhule did not update their potential availability for Thursday’s game against Atlanta beyond the injury report.

Okung left Sunday’s game early in the third quarter and did not return. Second-year offensive lineman Greg Little replaced him for the offense’s remaining 20 snaps.

“I hate when our players go down, but I feel as good about Greg going out there as anyone,” Rhule said.

Like he did against the Cardinals, Little once again bowled over a defender with a block. This time, he took out Saints linebacker Demario Davis on running
