The Packers and Panthers have released their inactives for Thursday Night Football
Raiders considering changes, Christian McCaffrey expected to be alright after thigh injury
The Panthers have released their injury report for Wednesday and it includes linebacker Jaelan Phillips as a non-participant in the team’s first practice of the week. Wednesday’s practice was only a walkthrough, but Phillips would have been out of a full practice due to a hamstring injury. Phillips hurt his hamstring early in last Sunday’s win over the Eagles, but was able to return to the field later in the game. Linebacker Thomas Incoom (calf) was the only other player listed as out of practice due to an injury. Running back Chuba Hubbard, linebacker Devin Lloyd, right tackle Taylor Moton, and tight end Darren Waller were all given rest days. Quarterback Bryce Young (knee), running back AJ Dillon (ankle), offensive tackle Monroe Freeling (knee), and linebacker Bam Martin-Scott (hamstring) were all listed as full participants. Dillon and Freeling did not play last week while Martin-Scott is waiting to be activated from injured reserve
Panthers update injury list for Sunday's game against the Eagles
Trevor Etienne (ankle) practiced in a full capacity again on Thursday. Etienne still hasn't been officially activated for the Panthers, but he seems to be trending the right way for Week 6, as he has been a full participant at both practices to start the week. Carolina may need him more than usual with AJ Dillon (ankle) at risk of being sidelined as well

Trevor Etienne (ankle) was officially a full participant at practice on Wednesday. The young running back recently had his 21-day practice window opened and was able to log a full practice session on Wednesday. It looks like he will be back in the lineup very soon, which is timely for the Panthers with AJ Dillon (ankle) now dealing with an injury
Running back Trevor Etienne is on his way back to the Panthers lineup. The team announced that Etienne has been designated to return from injured reserve. Etienne hurt his ankle in August and became eligible to return to action after Carolina beat the Lions in Week 4, but his 2026 debut had to wait for the team to return from their bye week. Etienne was a 2025 fourth-round pick and he served as a returner in addition to seeing limited action on offense during his rookie season. Chuba Hubbard and AJ Dillon are the current running backs on the team’s 53-man roster. The Panthers also announced that they have placed defensive tackle Cam Jackson on injured reserve. Jackson has a shoulder injury. The Jackson move leaves the Panthers with three open slots on their active roster. They’ve also designated offensive tackle Taylor Moton and defensive lineman Turk Wharton for return this week, so all three could be back for their Week 6 game against the Eagles

Carolina Panthers running back AJ Dillon (foot/ankle) walked into his team's locker room on Monday wearing a walking boot on his right foot, according to ESPN's Mike Kaye. Dillon has played a limited role in the Carolina backfield so far this season, recording 43 rushing yards on 17 carries across four games. However, the 28-year-old currently profiles as the Panthers RB2 behind Chuba Hubbard while fellow Carolina back Jonathon Brooks (abdomen/groin) remains on Injured Reserve. If Dillon is forced to miss time, unproven back Anthony Tyus III would be the lone healthy back remaining behind Hubbard on Carolina's active roster. Hubbard has already dominated backfield touches for the Panthers this season and been productive, recording 390 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns through four games. Without any competition for him in Carolina, Hubbard profiles as a must-start running back for fantasy managers
