Following up on a previous item. ... According to ESPN.com's Vaughn McClure, starting linebacker Sean Weatherspoon and reserve running back Jacquizz Rodgers have been ruled out of Sunday's game against Carolina due to injury.

Weatherspoon will miss his second consecutive game due to a right knee injury. The veteran played in just seven games in 2013 while also suffering a Lisfranc foot sprain earlier in the season.

Rodgers sustained a concussion during Monday night's 34-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He finishes the season with 1,248 all-purpose yards, which stands 31st in the league heading into the final weekend of regular-season games.

Jason Snelling will replace Rodgers as the primary kick returner for Sunday.

Wide receiver Darius Johnson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday, while tight end Tony Gonzalez (toe) is probable.
