Panthers' DeAngelo Williams active vs. Saints

The Carolina Panthers will get a boost offensively Thursday night with running back DeAngelo Williams active for the first time since Week 4. 

Williams suffered a high-ankle sprain against the Baltimore Ravens, and the Panthers offense has sputtered without him. 

Carolina is ranked 28th in red-zone touchdown percentage, coming away with just six points in three trips inside the 20 last week against the Seattle Seahawks.
