Friday practice has begun for the Panthers ahead of their matchup with the Broncos this weekend. While they are favored by 3.5 points, the team is shorthanded right now due to injuries and the pandemic, as they have been all season. However, there is some good news to report.
According to Bill Voth, linebacker Shaq Thompson, defensive tackle Derrick Brown and wide receiver Curtis Samuel have all been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list. D.J. Moore and Zach Kerr are still out, though.

And now the bad news: running back Christian McCaffrey is not at practice.

McCaffrey is dealing with multiple injuries. He suffered an AC joint issue in his shoulder Week 9 against the Chiefs and also tweaked his thigh during the bye week.
The full Week 14 injury report will be coming out soon, and we’ll get a better idea of who will be in the lineup against Denver and who won’t.
