There’s only one small change in the Panthers’ injury report from today compared to yesterday. Rookie cornerback and seventh-round pick Stantley Thomas-Oliver was downgraded to limited at today’s practice after being a full participant on Wednesday. Everything else remains the same.
Left guard Dennis Daley missed another day of practice with his sprained ankle and it seems unlikely he will play this week against the Raiders. There are 17 other names on the report but they were all full participants for the second-straight day and should suit up Sunday unless they’re downgraded tomorrow. Here’s an updated look at the team’s Week 1 injury report.

Thomas-Oliver may be pretty low on the depth chart. Cornerback is the one position this team can’t afford to lose anybody at, though.
Remember, Eli Apple is beginning the season on injured reserve and they were already about as thin as any team in the NFL at this spot.
The Panthers recently picked up former Eagles corner Rasul Douglas off waivers to help add some depth outside. However, coach Matt Rhule told reporters yesterday he’s not sure if he’ll be up to speed to play on Sunday.
