The Carolina Panthers released their first injury report of the week, as is custom on Wednesdays. In a refreshing turn of events, it’s a relatively short list.
So while the loss to the Saints was tremendously damaging to the ego and vibes of the Panthers, it didn’t hurt them too badly physically.
Trevin Wallace left the game with a shoulder injury and didn’t return. Dave Canales has already said Wallace will sit out on Sunday against the Falcons and will be evaluated on a week to week basis.
Dowdle has been dealing with some nicks and bruises pretty much since he started getting the bulk of the carries. He’s gutted it out through obvious pain, so I’d be surprised if his status for this Sunday was truly in doubt after not practicing. Ransom’s injury is a mystery but it doesn’t seem like it’s anything all that significant.
That just about does it for the bad news. Derrick Brown being limited is a nothing burger. He’s going to play on Sundays and the team is going to be extraordinarily cautious with any aches or pains he has early in the practice week. Zavala and Tremayne are full goes and should have no injury designation by the end of the week.
At this point, the Panthers look like they’ll be relatively healthy for their trip to Atlanta to play a game between two of the most unpredictable teams in the NFL.
