After a long season filled with bad injury luck, the Panthers seem to finally be getting healthy.

After a long season filled with bad injury luck, the Panthers seem to finally be getting healthy.

Only five players are listed on this week’s injury report and only one missed practice today: cornerback Ross Cockrell sat out again with the quad injury that kept him on the sidelines last week against the Falcons.

Four players were listed as limited on Thursday. Defensive tackle Gerald McCoy was out again with his NBD knee issue, rookie Dennis Daley still has a groin injury, safety Eric Reid is dealing with a knee problem and linebacker Shaq Thompson has an ankle issue.

Brian Burns was once again listed as a full participant. So was Greg Little, who coach Ron Rivera says he anticipates will play left tackle against the Saints. Little has been out most of the year in the concussion protocol and made his return against Atlanta. He had trouble with the Falcons’ pass rush but may just need some more time to get back up to speed.
