Stephon Gilmore - Expected back Week 7 Panthers GM Scott Fitterer expects Gilmore (quadriceps) to be activated off the PUP list when he's first eligible after Week 6 against the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Gilmore was acquired by Carolina from New England on Wednesday, and he'll need to sit out two more games before being eligible to join his new team's active roster. If activated at that point, his first game would come Oct. 24 versus the Giants. Once healthy, the 31-year-old will provide a major boost to a Panthers' secondary that recently lost rookie eighth overall pick Jaycee Horn to a broken foot.

Cameron Erving - Doesn't practice Wednesday Erving (neck) did not participate in the Panthers' practice Wednesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Impact Erving has had a strong campaign protecting Sam Darnold's blindside so far this season. The left tackle was unable to practice Wednesday with a neck injury, and the severity of the injury is uncertain as of now. While Erving's current status for Sunday is up in the air, Taylor Moton will likely fill in for the offensive linemen if he can't suit up against the Eagles.

Christian McCaffrey - Headed for game-time call? Coach Matt Rhule said McCaffrey (hamstring) "looked real good" in his return to practice Wednesday, potentially setting up a game-time decision this weekend, David Newton of ESPN.c...
Impact It's a little early in the week to know that a player will be a game-time decision, but it's at least fair to say McCaffrey appears truly questionable for Sunday against the Eagles. He returned to practice Wednesday afternoon as a limited participant after missing every session last week prior to being ruled out for Sunday's loss to Dallas. Chuba Hubbard got the start and took 15 touches for 71 yards, but he ended up playing only 47 percent of snaps, as practice squad call-up Rodney Smith got a lot of the work in obvious passing situations with Carolina chasing a deficit late in the game.
