The Carolina Panthers announced on Friday that they filed a correction with the NFL regarding the injury statuses of running back Jonathon Brooks and cornerback Mike Jackson.
The team originally listed both players as full participants during Wednesday’s practice, but the organization later clarified that they should have been designated as limited participants.
According to “Joe Person of The Athletic”, the team notified the league and their upcoming opponent, the New Orleans Saints, of the error.
The players had taken scout team repetitions during the session rather than full team drills, which led to the “reporting error” noted by the team.
Both Brooks and Jackson were designated to return to practice on Wednesday after being sidelined with groin injuries.
Brooks sustained his injury during a Week 2 win over the Atlanta Falcons, while Jackson was injured in a Week 3 loss to the Cleveland Browns, as detailed by “the Cleveland Browns team records”.
The team had previously listed both players as limited participants on Thursday, according to “the Panthers week 10 injury report”.
Despite the administrative correction, recent updates provide a more positive outlook for the roster.
Reports from the latest practice session, cited by “Mike Kaye on social media”, indicate that both Brooks and Jackson were seen participating in practice while wearing helmets and uniforms.
The team continues to manage the recovery process for both athletes as they prepare for the remainder of their schedule.
Further details regarding the team’s preparations and health status can be found by following “The Panthers Wire” on social media platforms.
The organization remains focused on maintaining accurate injury reporting in compliance with league policies as they head into their weekend matchup against the Saints.
