Thursday didn’t see much change across the board for the Carolina Panthers. That board, of course, includes the very uncertain statuses of quarterback Sam Darnold and running back Christian McCaffrey.
Darnold, who exited Week 8’s win against the Atlanta Falcons with a concussion, remained limited in his activity during today’s practice. He’s also dealing with a right shoulder issue that may add to the difficulty in returning on time for Sunday’s matchup with the New England Patriots.
McCaffrey, again, was kept largely under wraps throughout the session. He hit the stationary bike and participated in team stretches.
The rest of the report reads out pretty cleanly.
| Injury | Wed. | Thurs. | Fri. | Game status | |
| CB C.J. Henderson | Shoulder | Full | Full | ||
| LB Shaq Thompson | Foot | Limited | Full | ||
| WR Terrace Marshall Jr. | Concussion | Full | – | ||
| T Cameron Erving | Knee | Full | Full | ||
| C Matt Paradis | Knee | Full | Full | ||
| CB Stephon Gilmore | Quad | Full | Full | ||
| QB Sam Darnold | Concussion/Right shoulder | Limited | Limited | ||
| LB Jermaine Carter Jr. | Ankle | Full | Full | ||
| CB Stantley Thomas-Oliver III | Toe | Limited | DNP | ||
| G Pat Elflein | Hamstring | – | Full |
Guard Pat Elflein, one day after being moved back to the active roster, was added to the report as a full-go. Cornerback Stantley Thomas-Oliver III was the only Panther not to participate, presumably taking a step back with his toe injury.
