Drew Brees is the No. 3 quarterback for New Orleans, and the Saints have a long list of regulars given the day off in the regular-season finale against Carolina. Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams misses his second straight game Sunday with a sprained left ankle. Jonathan Stewart, who rushed for 206 yards last week, is active despite a sore left Achilles' tendon.
