Carolina Panthers

Jonathon Brooks

RB

The Panthers also listed Brooks as 'FP' on Wednesday's estimated practice report. Now that he's actually logged a full practice, Brooks may have a real shot to be activated from injured reserve for Sunday's game at New Orleans. The Panthers would need to make that move by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday to have Brooks on the active roster Sunday.

Bobby Okereke

LB

Okereke was estimated as a non-participant at Wednesday's walkthrough, and he remained sidelined for Thursday's full-speed practice. Barring a return to practice Friday, Okereke could be in line for a second consecutive absence Sunday against the Saints after he racked up 49 tackles (31 solo) through his first seven games with the Panthers.

Devin Lloyd

LB

Lloyd played every single defensive snap and co-led the Panthers in tackles with Tyrel Dodson. It was the fifth time this season that Lloyd has logged at least seven combined tackles, and the fifth-year pro is up to 54 stops (32 solo), including 2.0 sacks, four pass defenses (including one interception and a pick-six) across seven regular-season games.

Damien Lewis

G

Lewis has missed the Panthers' last two games due to a knee injury, but his full session Wednesday indicates that he'll be available for Sunday's NFC South tilt against the Saints. His return gives the Panthers more depth at offensive guard behind starters Robert Hunt and Torricelli Simpkins.

Xavier Legette

WR

The Panthers listed Legette as a full participant Wednesday on their estimated practice report. He gets the same listing after an actual practice and seems to be closing in on a return from injured reserve. Carolina would need to activate Legette by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday to have him on the roster for Sunday's game at New Orleans. Legette was Carolina's No. 3 receiver earlier this season, and neither John Metchie nor Brycen Tremayne has made much of an impact in his absence.
