Sam Darnold and Christian McCaffrey returned to practice on Wednesday but Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said the quarterback was “extremely limited” and participated in the pre-practice walkthrough.
Darnold is still in concussion protocol after exiting Sunday's game against the Falcons in the fourth quarter after suffering a hit to the helmet. He was hit by Atlanta linebacker Foye Oluokun as he ran toward the end zone and his helmet flew off before he was taken down at the 3-yard line.
McCaffrey was "pretty limited" and did not receive many reps on Wednesday. Rhule did not commit when McCaffrey would be back when talking with reporters on Monday, saying, per ESPN, "Hopefully this week, if not next week."
