Panthers injury updates: CB Eli Apple misses Thursday practice

The Carolina Panthers had full participation in the first practice of the week yesterday and only one player sat out today.

Here’s the updated Week 5 injury report.

Player Injury Wed Thu Fri Status
CB Eli Apple Hamstring Limited DNP
CB Donte Jackson Toe Limited Full
TE Chris Manhertz Ankle Limited Limited
OT Russell Okung Groin Limited Full
S Juston Burris Ankle Full Full
G Dennis Daley Ankle Full Full
OT Greg Little Ankle Full Full
C Matt Paradis Finger Full Full
DT Kawann Short Foot Full Full
DE Stephen Weatherly Knee Full Full
TE Colin Thompson Hip Full

It seems that former Saints corner Eli Apple is a bit snakebitten right now. Fortunately for the Panthers, cornerback has been a surprise strength for their defense. Even playing hurt, Donte Jackson is having the best season of his career and Rasul Douglas has been their best defender outside of Brian Burns.
