ICARO Media Group
CHARLOTTE - The Carolina Panthers announced their injury report ahead of Sunday's game against Calvin Ridley and the Atlanta Falcons. The team is unfortunately without the services of cornerback Troy Hill, who has been ruled out due to a concussion. However, Hill is the only player listed as out following Friday's final day of practice.
In Friday's practice session, Cornerback Jaycee Horn, linebacker Frankie Luvu, and lineman Ikem Ekwonu were all limited participants, making them questionable for Sunday's game. Horn is dealing with a toe injury, Luvu with a quad issue, and Ekwonu with a foot ailment. Their availability will likely be a game-time decision.
Meanwhile, linebacker Marquis Haynes Sr. is also listed as questionable. Haynes, who suffered a back injury, showed promising signs as he participated fully in Friday's practice. After being limited on Thursday and absent from Wednesday's session, there is hope for Haynes to take the field on Sunday.
Interim coach Chris Tabor expressed optimism about Horn, Luvu, and Ekwonu's chances of playing on Sunday, despite their questionable status. Tabor believes they might be able to overcome their limited participation in practice.
On a positive note, the Panthers had a host of players who were full participants in Friday's practice. Linebacker Claudin Cherelus, running back Chuba Hubbard, cornerback Donte Jackson, linemen Nash Jensen and Cade Mays, tackle Taylor Moton, running back Miles Sanders, and tight ends Stephen Sullivan and Tommy Tremble all took part without limitations.
With no other players receiving designations for the game, it appears that the Panthers' roster is in good shape for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons. The team will rely heavily on the aforementioned players who are expected to recover in time for the game.
Fans and coaches alike will be eagerly awaiting further updates on the trio of Horn, Luvu, and Ekwonu in the lead-up to kickoff. The Panthers will hope for their swift recovery and an injury-free performance as they aim to secure a victory against their division rivals.
Sunday's game promises to be an exciting clash, as the Panthers look to overcome their injury setbacks and put on a strong display against the Atlanta Falcons at Bank of America Stadium.
