While most of the Carolina Panthers’ injury news in recent weeks has been about the shifting offensive line, Monday’s practice actually saw the return of the team’s most veteran player.
Defensive end Julius Peppers, who has been working his way back from offseason surgery, was cleared to practice over the weekend and participated in team drills Monday for the first time this summer. Peppers had labrum surgery on his right shoulder in the spring and missed all of OTA’s and minicamp.
