"LB Patrick Jones II (hamstring) DT Tershawn Wharton (hamstring) The Falcons start the week with a much larger injury report than that of the Panthers. Some positive news, after being listed all of last week leading up to the game, receiver Drake London does not appear on the first report of this week. He is seemingly back to good health after playing in the Week 2 contest."
"We did receive news that corner A.J. Terrell, who left Week 2 with a groin injury, is not practicing and is being considered week-to-week. When they say something like this to describe an injury, you can all but expect the player mentioned to miss at minimum the following game. It's also worth noting that they could've placed him on short-term IR and chose not to."
"Another name to keep an eye on this week is rookie edge rusher James Pearce, Jr. who has a groin injury. Looking at Carolina, they have a relatively short injury report as of Wednesday. They do have some hamstring issues going on as three of their four players listed has an injury to theirs. It's only Wednesday, so we will learn more about their severities on Thursday."
The Falcons begin Week 3 with a notably larger injury report than the Panthers, listing multiple receivers, defensive linemen and linebackers with various injuries. Drake London is absent from the report and appears recovered after playing in Week 2. Cornerback A.J. Terrell remains out of practice with a groin issue and is being considered week-to-week; he is likely to miss at least the upcoming game and could be sidelined through the next two games before a return after the Week 5 bye. Rookie edge rusher James Pearce Jr. has a groin injury to monitor. The Panthers show a shorter report, with three of four listed players dealing with hamstring issues and further updates expected later in the week.
