Ioannidis (back) is inactive Sunday against the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ioannidis didn't practice this week, but he'll still take the field for the team's regular-season finale. The veteran's presence should be a boost for the interior of the team's defensive line against New Orleans.

Ioannidis (back) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Ioannidis didn't practice during Week 18 prep due to a back injury, but he'll still have a chance to suit up Sunday. In his first season with Carolina, the veteran defensive tackle has totaled 37 tackles, one sack and one forced fumble across 13 appearances.

Ioannidis (calf) is active Sunday against the Seahawks, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ioannidis was able to log a full practice Friday, but he remained questionable for the game. His return from a two-week absence is definitely good news for the inside of the Panthers defensive line.

Ioannidis (calf) was a full participant at Friday's practice session.
EDGE Analysis
After logging consecutive limited practices to open the week, Ioannidis was able to raise his participation Friday, which bodes well for his chance to play Sunday against Seattle. The defensive tackle has missed two consecutive games, and if he can't go in Week 14, Derrick Brown will continue to operate as the main disruptor on the Panthers' interior defensive line.

Ioannidis (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Ioannidis missed last Sunday's loss to the Ravens due to a calf issue he sustained Week 10 versus the Falcons, and he'll again watch from the sidelines this weekend with the same injury. In his absence, Derrick Brown, Bravvion Roy and Marquan McCall are in line to serve as Carolina's top defensive-tackle options.

Coach Steve Wilks said Monday that Ioannidis (calf) won't play Sunday against the Ravens, Schuyler Callihan of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ioannidis exited Thursday's win over the Falcons due to a calf injury and was seen in a walking boot after the game. While the exact nature of the issue hasn't yet been revealed, the 28-year-old will be forced to miss at least one game as a result. Marquan McCall and Bravvion Roy will likely see increased playing time in Ioannidis' absence.

Ioannidis suffered a calf injury during Thursday's contest against the Falcons, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ioannidis was seen in a walking boot after Thursday's game and the severity of Ioannidis' calf injury is uncertain at this point. The defensive tackle has had a strong season thus far having only missed one game while recording 20 tackles (7 solo) and one forced fumble. Expect Marquan McCall to see an increased role if Ioannidis is forced to miss time.

Ioannidis (concussion) practice in full Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ioannidis missed Sunday's win over the Buccaneers with a concussion and was a limited participant during practice Wednesday. While the 28-year-old did return in full Thursday, it's still unknown if he's managed to clear the league's protocol for head injuries. Ioannidis tallied 15 tackles and one sack over his first six games with Carolina, and his status on Friday's injury report should shed more light on his availability for this Sunday against the Falcons.

Ioannidis (concussion) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
Ioannidis has been dealing with a concussion that kept him out of practice entirely both Wednesday and Friday this week. He was deemed doubtful heading into Sunday and likely hasn't cleared league protocols. He'll look to get back on the field next Sunday in Atlanta.

Ioannidis (concussion) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ioannidis was on the field for 81 percent of Carolina's defensive snaps last week but was in the concussion protocols ahead of Sunday's Week 7 tilt. He'll likely be forced to miss at least one game, which should lead to additional playing time for Marquan McCall and Phil Hoskins.
