When news of DJ Moore’s ankle injury first broke, his status for the Week 15 tilt against the Pittsburgh Steelers seemed dire. You don’t undergo an MRI if you’re just feeling a little sore.
But, fortunately for the Carolina Panthers, he seems just fine . . . at least for the time being.
The fifth-year wide receiver was a full participant for Wednesday’s practice despite concern about his ankle. Moore was removed for three snaps during this past Sunday’s victory over the Seattle Seahawks after sustaining the injury.
Interim head coach Steve Wilks was encouraged by his activity from the afternoon.
“Again, it is good news,” Wilks said of Moore’s practice. “He was full today. We’re gonna see exactly how he feels tomorrow from a standpoint of any relapse. But it was great to see him out there running around and executing.”
