The Panthers released their second injury report ahead of Sunday’s Wild Card game against the Saints.
There were only three players who didn’t practice today, and one of them is Julius Peppers who was given another day off. Matt Kalil has an illness that held him out of practice today after being limited yesterday.
Panthers left tackle Matt Kalil, who was limited Wed. with an illness, is not at practice today.

Hopefully whatever the illness is clears up soon because the Panthers will be ... what’s a good word here ... screwed ... without a left tackle to help keep Cam Jordan from wrecking Cam Newton.
Trai Turner is still in the concussion protocol and there are no updates to his condition according to Ron Rivera.
Ron Rivera says he has no update on Trai Turner's status.

Devin Funchess has been limited for the last two days, but according to him they’re just being careful with him ahead of a huge game on Sunday.
Devin Funchess says limitation in practices this week has been precautionary.

Hopefully Funchess is ready to go on Sunday, because having receivers for Newton to throw to would be a good thing.
