Enters protocols Henderson suffered a concussion and will not return Sunday against the Colts, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Henderson's exit will be a blow to the team's secondary who is already without Vonn Bell (quadriceps) and has also seen Xavier Woods exit early Sunday with a thigh injury. With Henderson sidelined, Troy Hill and D'Shawn Jamison will be the likeliest candidates to see extra snaps against Indianapolis.

Logs full practice Tuesday Henderson (ankle) was a full participant at practice Tuesday ahead of Saturday's game versus Detroit, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Henderson was forced out of Carolina's loss versus Pittsburgh in Week 15 with an ankle injury, but it apparently wasn't severe, as he appears to be on track to play again in Week 16. He'll probably step back in as the Panthers' second boundary corner across from Jaycee Horn on Saturday.

Exits versus Pittsburgh Henderson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers with an ankle injury, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Henderson did not log a statistic before injuring his ankle at some point in the first half. The 24-year-old has stepped up into a bigger role since starting cornerback Donte Jackson went down with a season-ending Achilles injury, playing every defensive snap in two of the Panthers' previous three games. With Henderson currently sidelined, Keith Taylor has stepped in for the time being, according to Steve Reed of the Associated Press.

Reaches career-high 10 tackles Henderson recorded 10 tackles during Sunday's 13-3 loss to the Ravens.

Impact Henderson recorded a new career-best 10 stops Sunday against Baltimore, while his previous career high was eight tackles on two separate occasions. With both of fellow cornerbacks Donte Jackson (Achilles) and Stantley Thomas-Oliver (thigh) currently on injured reserve, the 24-year-old is expected to play a prominent role in Carolina's secondary moving forward. The Panthers' next matchup comes Sunday versus the Broncos.

Impact Henderson has played 20 games with the Panthers since being traded from Jacksonville in Week 4 of 2021, and he'll step up into a much bigger role while Henderson recovers from this injury sustained during Thursday's win over Atlanta. The 2020 first-round pick logged 370 defensive snaps while playing every game so far this season, and he should slot in opposite fellow starting cornerback Jaycee Horn beginning with Carolina's next game against the Ravens on Sunday, Nov. 20. Henderson collected 34 tackles, three passes defended and an interception over Carolina's first 10 games.

Totals season-high eight stops Henderson tallied eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Bengals.

Impact Despite playing just 50 percent of the Panthers' defensive snaps, Henderson ranked second on the team in tackles behind Shaq Thompson. The cornerback's eight stops were the most he has recorded in any game this season and tied his career single-game high. Henderson has 33 tackles through nine games this year, six short of the career-best 39 he recorded over 12 games between Jacksonville and Carolina last season.

Absent from injury report Henderson (shoulder) was not listed on the Panthers' injury report Thursday.

Impact Henderson clear concussion protocol heading into Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, though he was forced to exit with a shoulder injury at some point during the contest. However, this issue appears to have been minor, as the 24-year-old did not appear on Carolina's injury report Wednesday or Thursday. Henderson has compiled 25 tackles and one pass defended on 257 defensive snaps over seven contests this season, and he could see an increased role if starting cornerback Jaycee Horn (ribs) remains sidelined Sunday against the Falcons.
