One new injury was to defensive tackle Gervon Dexter. He practiced only on a limited basis Thursday due to a hip injury. It's apparently a new injury suffered in practice because he was fine coming out of last week's game and practiced Wednedsday.

Cornerback Terell Smith (hip) and defensive tackle Zacch Pickens (groin) were the only players missing practice due to injuries.

Veteran tight end Marcedes Lewis was given off for a veterans' day of rest.

Carolina got healthier but still is without linebackers Shaq Thompson (Achilles) and Josey Jewell (hamstring/groin). Wide receiver Diontae Johnson (ankle) went through a limited practice after missing Wednesday's practice. The other players limited in practice were guard Robert Hunt (hip), guard Damien Lewis (elbow), safety Nick Scott (shoulder), tight end Ian Thomas (calf), defensive tackle Shy Tuttle (foot), safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. (hip) and linebacker Charles Harris (shoulder).
