*Christian McCaffrey – Noteworthy
RB Christian McCaffrey eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for career receiving yards just half way through his second season. He’s the fourth Panthers running back in history to reach that 1,000-yard receiving plateau.
Eric Reid – Noteworthy – Injury
S Eric Reid has taken part in some practice activities after suffering a shoulder injury late in the game against Tampa Bay. He returned to action in that game, but with the short turnaround this could be an issue.
Ryan Kalil – Noteworthy – Injury
C Ryan Kalil is dealing with an ankle injury suffered in the Tampa Bay game and he has missed practice time. The short week probably won’t help matters, so even if he starts it’s worth keeping an eye on him. Head coach Ron Rivera said there’s a good chance Kalil will be available in some capacity.
