  Panthers | Carolina's Week 1 injury report    Fri Sep 8, 12:39 PM

Carolina Panthers WR DJ Chark Jr. (hamstring) was upgraded to a limited practice on Friday, Sept. 8, but was ruled out for Week 1 versus the Atlanta Falcons. WR Adam Thielen (ankle) was also upgraded to a limited practice on Friday and is listed as questionable. DT DeShawn Williams (illness), S Sam Franklin (knee), WR Terrace Marshall Jr. (back) and WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette (ankle) practiced in full on Friday and no longer on the injury report.

Footballguys view: Marshall will get on the field a lot with Chark out, but he could draw shutdown corner AJ Terrell. Thielen looks like a true game time decision after missing the first two practices of the week. Rookie Jonathan Mingo and free agent pickup Hayden Hurst could get a lot of targets this week in what might be a tough debut for #1 overall pick Bryce Young.

  Panthers | Carolina's Week 9 injury report    Fri Nov 4, 11:57 AM

Carolina Panthers S Juston Burris (concussion), RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle), and WR Rashard Higgins (illness) were ruled out on the final Week 9 injury report Friday, Nov. 4. TE Stephen Sullivan (illness) is listed as doubtful. DE Amare Barno (knee) and CB Donte Jackson (ankle) are listed as questionable. CB Jaycee Horn (ankle), LB Frankie Luvu (shoulder), and S Sam Franklin (illness) were taken off the injury report.

Footballguys view: D'Onta Foreman should get the vast majority of the workload again this week with Hubbard sitting. The Bengals defense is probably weary after facing Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt on Monday night.
