Falcons linebacker Sean Weatherspoon (knee) and running back Jacquizz Rodgers (concussion) were declared out of the regular-season finale against Carolina on Friday.

Weatherspoon has battled through foot and shoulder injuries and spent time on the injured reserve-designated to return list this season. Rodgers suffered a concussion against San Francisco and is in the league’s concussion protocol program.

Wide receiver Darius Johnson (ankle) was limited in practice and is listed as questionable.

Center/guard Peter Konz (neck), cornerback Robert Alford (ankle) and tight end Tony Gonzalez (toe) were listed as probable for the game.
