Panthers Week 15 injury report: Brian Burns questionable vs. Falcons

Brian Burns isn’t a sure thing for Sunday.

The Carolina Panthers have listed the outside linebacker as questionable in their final injury report leading up to their Week 15 contest against the Atlanta Falcons. Burns, who did not participate in practice to begin the week, returned to the field on a limited basis the past two days.

In addition to Burns, four players have been ruled questionable with an illness—outside linebacker Amaré Barno, cornerback D’Shawn Jamison and safeties Xavier Woods and Sam Franklin Jr. Fellow outside linebacker Yetur Gross-Matos is also in question after popping up on Friday with a knee injury.

Not in question are the statuses of guard Justin McCray and tight ends Ian Thomas and Hayden Hurst—all of whom have been ruled out. Hurst, as first reported by Joe Person of The Athletic, is being placed on season-ending injured reserve due to his concussion.

Here is the final Week 15 injury report in its entirety:
