Panthers coach Ivan Cleary has updated his squad for Sunday afternoon's match against the Knights at McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle.
Five players have dropped out of the squad, including co-captain Isaah Yeo, who will miss the match due to load management. NSW Blues followed protocols during and following Wednesday night's State of Origin match, however Yeo, who has played every game this season, will be rested on Sunday afternoon due to work load.
In Yeo's absence, Matt Eisenhuth has been promoted to start at lock, while Spencer Leniu has been added to the interchange.
Robert Jennings and Chris Smith remain on the extended bench for the Round 14 fixture.
The Panthers will wear the 2022 Home Jersey.
