Darren Waller: rest day, not injury, keeps him out Wednesday

THE FACT. Carolina listed tight end Darren Waller as a non-participant on its official Week 2 injury report Wednesday, with the designation marked as rest and not injury related, per panthers.com. The Panthers also held out linebacker Patrick Jones II and defensive tackle Bobby Brown III with back issues ahead of Sunday's game against Atlanta.

THE VERDICT. Do not read anything into this one. A veteran rest day on the first practice of the week is a workload decision, not a health flag, and Waller should be back on the field Thursday. Redraft: start him where you already had him. Dynasty: no change. Worry only if he reappears limited or out later in the week with an actual injury attached.
