Damien Lewis and Jaelan Phillips return to full practice for Panthers
Three players designated to return from injured reserve also practiced fully, while Bobby Okereke and Chuba Hubbard sat out.
The Panthers had starters Damien Lewis and Jaelan Phillips back as full practice participants after both missed multiple games with injuries. Lewis, the team's left guard, has been sidelined for two games because of a knee injury. Phillips, a linebacker, has missed three games with a hamstring injury.
The team also designated three players to return from injured reserve, and all three participated fully. They were running back Jonathon Brooks and cornerback Mike Jackson, both with groin injuries, along with wide receiver Xavier Legette, who has a knee injury.
Five other players completed full practices: cornerback Will Lee and offensive lineman Brady Christensen, both listed with hamstring injuries; guard Torricelli Simpkins and running back Trevor Etienne, both with ankle injuries; and defensive tackle Lee Hunter, listed with a calf injury.
Only two Panthers did not participate. Linebacker Bobby Okereke was out with a foot injury, while running back Chuba Hubbard missed the session for rest.
