CHARLOTTE — Quarterback Andy Dalton returned to practice Wednesday, but eight players were held out.
Dalton was listed as a full participant after he missed last week's game against the Broncos. He didn't practice at all last week because of his right thumb issue and was inactive.
Left tackle Ikem Ekwonu (ankle), tight end Feleipe Franks (concussion), outside linebacker DJ Johnson (ankle), safety Jammie Robinson (knee), and tight end Tommy Tremble (back) were held out with injuries, along with three players getting rest days.
Outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney, linebacker Josey Jewell, and defensive end A'Shawn Robinson were the guys getting rest designations.
Wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) was listed as limited while running back Jonathon Brooks (knee), defensive tackle Jaden Crumedy (ankle), safety Jordan Fuller (hamstring), tackle Yosh Nijman (knee), and outside linebacker D.J. Wonnum (quadriceps) were full participants.
