The Carolina Panthers couldn’t get a single full practice out of a pretty important trio of starters this week. But interim head coach Chris Tabor seems positive about their statuses entering the weekend.
Left tackle Ikem Ekwonu (foot), linebacker Frankie Luvu (quadriceps) and cornerback Jaycee Horn (toe) have all been listed as questionable for Sunday’s matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tabor, after Friday’s practice, was asked if he feels good about their chances of playing.
“I do,” he replied. “They took some reps today, so we’ll see where it’s at come game day.”
Cornerback Troy Hill, however, won’t be in uniform at EverBank Stadium. The team’s top slot defender has been ruled out due to a concussion.
