The Panthers have issued today’s injury report for their Week 5 game against the Giants, and there’s some encouraging news to report—Trai Turner and Curtis Samuel were both on the practice field for the Panthers. According to early reports, the only players who took the day off were Julius Peppers and Greg Olsen.
Getting Turner back at right guard would be huge for Carolina, as his absence has been felt for the last few weeks while he was in the concussion protocol. Seeing Samuel get some live action is also good news, and it would be nice to see him featured in the offense this week to give Cam Newton another weapon to use on Sunday.
