Panthers Week 15 injury report: WR DJ Moore questionable vs. Steelers
Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Moore was downgraded on the final injury report for the team’s Week 15 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. But interim head coach Steve Wilks didn’t exactly describe it as such in the grand scheme of his status.
On Friday, Wilks was asked if Moore—who went from two full practices on Wednesday and Thursday to a limited one this afternoon—has suffered a setback. Here was his response:
“It’s not so much of a setback, it’s just really just trying to see whether or not he’s gonna be able to sustain and be efficient in what we’re asking him to do. So we’ll see exactly how he is.”
The Panthers will see how Moore’s ankle holds up between tomorrow’s light session and the workout prior to kickoff on Sunday. Carolina may also be without another pass catcher in Laviska Shenault Jr., who has also been listed as questionable for the contest.
Here’s the full injury report heading into the weekend:
