The Carolina Panthers have mostly good news on their final injury report ahead of Sunday’s wild-card matchup in New Orleans.
The only players that are questionable are left tackle Matt Kalil, who has been battling an illness this week, receiver Devin Funchess (shoulder), backup quarterback Derek Anderson (illness) and guard Trai Turner (concussion protocol).
But head coach Ron Rivera sounded optimistic Friday that both Kalil and Funchess would be able to play on Sunday. Kalil went through walkthroughs with the team Friday morning before going inside, while Funchess practiced for the first time this week.
Funchess also said Thursday that not practicing through most of the week was precautionary.
