Panthers Week 16 injury report: Brian Burns good to go vs. Packers

Compared to their last two outings, Friday’s practice was much more joyous for the Carolina Panthers.

Every active player was accounted for this afternoon, including the outside linebacker trio of Brian Burns, Yetur Gross-Matos and Marquis Haynes Sr. All three practiced in full after missing the past pair of sessions due to an illness and will not carry any game designations into this weekend’s matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

Three others, however, will be bringing over at least a little doubt into Sunday. Tight end Ian Thomas (ankle), safety Sam Franklin Jr. (quadriceps) and outside linebacker Claudin Cherelus—who was designated to return from injured reserve this week—are all questionable.

Here’s the final injury report for Week 16:
