The Carolina Panthers kicked off their week of practice Wednesday and released their first injury report. It was nothing like the Cardinals’ report of 17 players, but there are notable players listed.

Four players did not participate in Wednesday’s practice and another one was limited.

The details are below.

Panthers Week 17 injury report: 7 players DNP at first practice

The Panthers will play their last game of the 2020 season the same as they have all year: missing important pieces on both sides of the ball.

The Panthers will play their last game of the 2020 season the same as they have all year: missing important pieces on both sides of the ball.

Here is our first look at the team’s Week 17 injury report.

Player Injury Wed Thu Fri Status
DE Brian Burns Shoulder DNP
RB Christian McCaffrey Thigh DNP
RB Mike Davis Ankle DNP
WR Robby Anderson Groin DNP
OT Russell Okung Calf DNP
CB Troy Pride Jr. Hip DNP
G John Miller Shoulder DNP
FB Alex Armah Thigh Limited
DE Efe Obada Shoulder Limited
DE Yetur Gross-Matos Shoulder Full
DE Marquis Haynes Shoulder Full
DB Natrell Jamerson Hip Full
DE Austin Larkin Shoulder Full

Coach Matt Rhule has already said he doesn’t expect McCaffrey to play against the Saints. Ordinarily that would mean another start for Davis, but Rhule says he’ll likely be out, as well. So, Trenton Cannon or Rodney Smith might wind up being RB1 this week. However, wide receiver Curtis Samuel was the team’s most effective rusher in Sunday’s win over Washington.

It was probably not a great idea to play Burns in Week 16 given how important he is for this franchise. After being listed as questionable right up until the laste minute, he played a relatively limited snap count and suffered a couple of shoulder stingers. It might be wise to sit him this last game and let Marquis Haynes go again.

If Okung is ruled out again (again) we may see Matt Kaskey get some time at left tackle given how much Michael Schofield struggled.

It certainly looks like all four of the DNPs are on their way to sitting out this week. Defensive coordinator Phil Snow told reporters today that Brian Burns won’t play. Also, coach Matt Rhule says Christian McCaffrey is dying to, but he’s just not ready yet.

As for their opponents, Washington has some uncertainty going on at quarterback. Alex Smith says he expects to play but Dwayne Haskins took first-team reps at practice today and looks on track to start Sunday.

Panthers Week 16 injury report: Brian Burns, Christian McCaffrey among DNPs

Both defensive end Brian Burns and running back Christian McCaffrey did not participate in today’s practice.

The Panthers may have to face their former coach Ron Rivera this week without the top two players on their roster. Both defensive end Brian Burns and running back Christian McCaffrey did not participate in today’s practice.

Here is your first look at the team’s Week 16 injury report.

Player Injury Wed Thu Fri Status
DE Brian Burns Knee DNP

Assuming McCaffrey is once again unavailable, Mike Davis will continue to start at running back. If Burns has to sit out, the team may turn to Efe Obada to start opposite Yetur Gross-Matos.

As for Okung, Trent Scott is the only other left tackle remaining on the active roster. Both Greg Little and Dennis Daley have been placed on season-ending injured reserve.

At cornerback, seventh-round pick Stantley Thomas-Oliver is the best candidate to replace Pride, who is considered doubtful to play.

Panthers Week 15 injury report: Russell Okung, Christian McCaffrey DNP

Here is the team’s updated injury report for Week 15.

The Carolina Panthers were missing two of their most important offensive players at today’s practice. Both left tackle Russell Okung and running back Christian McCaffrey did not participate.

Here is the team’s updated injury report for Week 15.

Coach Matt Rhule still says he doesn’t expect McCaffrey to play against the Packers, but he hasn’t ruled him out as of yet. If Okung can’t go, the team will actually be starting Trent Scott at left tackle instead of Greg Little.

On the bright side, wide receiver D.J. Moore was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list. Rhule expects him to play.

Panthers Week 14 injury report: Christian McCaffrey DNP on Thursday

Here is the team’s updated Week 14 injury report.

Things are going in the wrong direction for Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey. He was limited at practice on Wednesday but today McCaffrey was one of several players who did not participate.

Here is the team’s updated Week 14 injury report.

Hopefully Friday brings good news, but it sounds like McCaffrey is going to be ruled out for this week’s game against the Broncos. Coach Matt Rhule told reporters today that he does not expect No. 22 will play. If that’s the case, it will be the 10th game that McCaffrey has missed this year due to injuries. Mike Davis should start in his place again.

Cornerback is once again a concern, as well. Donte Jackson is expected to suit up on Sunday. However, Douglas clearly has something going on since he’s been ruled out two straight days. If he can’t go, rookies Troy Pride Jr. and Stantley Thomas-Oliver III should get more playing time.

The following names are still on the reserve/COVID-19 list, so obviously they did not practice: Curtis Samuel, D.J. Moore, Shaq Thompson, Zach Kerr, Derrick Brown.
