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.

Panthers G Dennis Daley, CB Donte Jackson DNP for Thanksgiving practice

Here is the updated Week 12 injury report.

The Panthers appear to be getting a full week of practice from Teddy Bridgewater after he missed last week’s matchup with the Lions. He was not limited at practice for the second straight day.

Here is the updated Week 12 injury report.

Player Injury Wed Thu Fri Status
QB Teddy Bridgewater Knee Full Full

LB Tahir Whitehead Ribs Full Full
WR D.J. Moore Shoulder Full Full

It appears cornerback Donte Jackson and offensive lineman Dennis Daley are on their way to sitting out this week. Jackson has a lingering toe injury and Daley suffered a concussion against Detroit.

While McCaffrey hasn’t been ruled out yet, all indications are that he won’t play again this week. Most likely, he’ll return to the lineup after the bye.

Happy Thanksgiving from everyone here at Panthers Wire.

Panthers Week 12 injury report: Bridgewater expected to play, McCaffrey not

After practice, coach Matt Rhule told the media that he expects Bridgewater to play Sunday against the Vikings.

The Panthers should be getting their starting QB back in the lineup this week against the Vikings. Their superstar running back will likely remain on the sidelines for now, though.

Here is your first look at the team’s Week 12 injury report.

WR D.J. Moore Shoulder Full

After practice, coach Matt Rhule told the media that he expects Bridgewater to play Sunday against Minnesota. He’s not expecting McCaffrey to, though.

Bridgewater is recovering from a right knee injury that has been reported as a mild MCL sprain, but Rhule has said there’s more than one thing going on with the knee. He was close to starting against the Lions. However, Bridgewater was placed on the inactives list at the last minute.

Meanwhile, McCaffrey has an AC joint injury in his shoulder. Assuming he is ruled out, the Panthers will again look to Mike Davis at running back. He has filled in well for No. 22 this season, totaling 754 yards and five touchdowns from scrimmage.

Donte Jackson has had a lingering toe injury since Week 1 which has slowed him down. The team finally rested him last week. Rookies Troy Pride Jr. and Stantley Thomas-Oliver split his snaps.

Panthers list 7 players as questionable, 3 doubtful to play vs. Lions

Panthers list 7 players as questionable, 3 doubtful to play vs. Lions this weekend.

At this rate, the Carolina Panthers may need to ask some fans to come down out of the stands and suit up on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. Starting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is listed as questionable, as are six other players. Three key starters are doubtful to play, as well.

Here is the complete Carolina Week 11 injury report.

We may not find out who will start at QB until 90 minutes before kickoff when the inactives list comes out. Our best guess is that Bridgewater’s limited partcipation this week is a smokescreen and we will be seeing either P.J. Walker or Will Grier under center. Grier is our gut feeling, though. Walker probably has an equal chance to start. However, the team invested a third-round pick in Grier and may want to see where he’s at in his development in a live game setting.

At left tackle, the Panthers have tried Dennis Daley, Greg Little and Trent Scott, who’s flashed the most recently. It will be interesting to see who replaces Okung this time and how long they stay on the field.

If Miller can’t go, coach Matt Rhule will likely look to either Daley or Michael Schofield at right guard.

At cornerback, rookie Troy Pride Jr. will start in place of Jackson, which will likely be a problem as he attempts to cover the likes of Marvin Jones Jr. and Kenny Golladay outside. Pride has been the team’s most disappointing draft pick this year and Matt Stafford will probably test him more than Rasul Douglas, even if he’s not 100%. In any case, resting Jackson is the right decision and it’s also a month overdue.

Panthers injury updates: Bridgewater ‘extremely’ limited, Okung downgraded

The Panthers look like they’ll be facing the Lions this weekend with several important pieces on the sidelines.

The Panthers look like they’ll be facing the Lions this weekend with several important pieces on the sidelines. Four players did not participate in today’s practice and starting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater remains limited.

Coach Matt Rhule told the media today that Bridgewater is “extremely limited” right now. Also, there’s apparently more than one thing wrong with his knee. However, if No. 5 can play, he will.

If Bridgewater can’t go against Detroit, Rhule says he will likely wait until Saturday or Sunday to name a starter between backups Will Grier and P.J. Walker.

Aside from those two, players who should see larger roles this week include rookie corner Troy Pride Jr., slated to start for Donte Jackson so he can finally rest and fully recover from his lingering toe injury. Mike Davis will also naturally take Christian McCaffrey’s place in the lineup. If right guard John Miller is ruled out, Michael Schofield or Dennis Daley could take his spot. As for left tackle, it’s anybody’s guess.

Coach Matt Rhule told reporters today he does not expect McCaffrey, Jackson or Okung to play against the Lions on Sunday.

Teddy Bridgewater is of course the big name to watch, though. He suffered a mild MCL sprain late in last week’s loss to the Buccaneers when he was tackled from behind on a sack by Jason Pierre-Paul.

Panthers injury updates: DE Brian Burns limited on Thursday

Here is the updated Week 10 injury report.

The Panthers’ injury report is mostly unchanged from yesterday. There are a couple of new names on it, though. Defensive end Brian Burns (groin) was limited at practice and running back Mike Davis was listed as a full participant with a toe issue.

Here is the updated Week 10 injury report.

Burns has become an elite pass rusher, run stopper and the team’s best defensive player. If he can’t play, their chances against Tampa are nill. Coach Matt Rhule says he should be good to go, though.

Christian McCaffrey is expected to be ruled out, but there’s a chance he can play next week against Detroit.
