When the Carolina Panthers acquired cornerback C.J. Henderson, they also acquired yet another pain the groin . . . literally, not figuratively. They’ve already dealt with this type of injury a few times this season, with safety Juston Burris set to miss at least three weeks with his.
But, luckily for them, this one won’t be a long-term issue. In fact, the team’s new defensive back is certainly on track to play ahead of the exciting Week 4 matchup with the Dallas Cowboys.
The Panthers released their first injury report of the week on Wednesday, with Henderson included as a full participant.
| Injury | Wed. | Thurs. | Fri. | Game Status | |
| RB Christian McCaffrey | Hamstring | DNP | |||
| DE Yetur Gross-Matos | Ankle | Limited | |||
| G John Miller | Shoulder | Limited | |||
| WR Terrace Marshall Jr. | Thumb | Full | |||
| CB C.J. Henderson | Groin | Full | |||
| DT Phil Hoskins | Non-injury | DNP |
Not as involved were Gross-Matos and Miller. Gross-Matos did not play in Week 3’s win over the Houston Texans after rolling his ankle just four days prior against the New Orleans Saints.
Christian McCaffrey, of course, did not participate. He will miss the next few weeks with a strained hamstring.
