Whether you’re fan of Cameron Erving or not, the Carolina Panthers certainly weren’t a fan of his absence back in Week 5. The moves of Taylor Moton to left tackle and rookie Brady Christensen to the right didn’t exactly fare well for the entire unit.
But could that option now be back on the table for Sunday’s matchup with the New York Giants?
Perhaps, as Erving was added to Thursday’s injury report ahead of the Week 7 contest. He was listed as a limited participant with a neck injury, the same issue that kept him out of that loss to the Philadelphia Eagles two games ago.
Here’s the entire listing from this afternoon:
Injury | Wed. | Thurs. | Fri. | Game status | |
CB C.J. Henderson | Shoulder | Full | Full | ||
LB Frankie Luvu | Biceps | Limited | Limited | ||
WR Alex Erickson | Concussion | DNP | Limited | ||
WR Terrace Marshall Jr. | Concussion | DNP | DNP | ||
LB Shaq Thompson | Foot | DNP | DNP | ||
FB Giovanni Ricci | Concussion | DNP | DNP | ||
OT Cameron Erving | Neck | – | Limited | ||
C Matt Paradis | Knee | – | Full |
Additionally, newly-acquired cornerback Stephon Gilmore was, like Wednesday, limited in activity as he returns from a quad injury. Defensive coordinator Phil Snow told reporters they’ll continue to gauge his progress into tomorrow in determining whether he’ll suit up for New York.
