CHARLOTTE — If you are a superstitious person, this is the time you knock on wood.
The Panthers only had four players listed on the injury report Thursday, and all four were full participants in practice.
That's a remarkable bit of good fortune for this time in a season, and something no one should take for granted.
Defensive end Marquis Haynes Sr. (foot) was out on Wednesday, and outside linebacker Frankie Luvu (shoulder) was limited, but they practiced without restrictions Thursday.
As they were Wednesday, cornerbacks Rashaan Melvin (hand) and Stantley Thomas-Oliver III (toe) were full participants.
