The NFC South Division foes have battled each other over the years.

New Orleans leads the all-time series 30-28, winning 10 of the past 14 games since the 2017 season.

The Saints, however, have injury issues heading into the game against the Panthers.

Starting quarterback Derek Carr practiced on a limited basis on Wednesday as he's progressing through the NFL's concussion protocol.

Several other Saints didn't participate in practice, notably Taysom Hill, the team's co-leader with five touchdowns. The versatile Hill, who lines up at wide receiver and quarterback, has a foot injury.

Carolina QB Bryce Young, the No. 1 pick in April's draft, has been sacked 44 times, second-highest in the league.

The teams met in Week 2, with New Orleans winning 20-17 at Charlotte.

The betting result ATS?

A push, of course, as the Panthers were +3.
