ELI APPLE NEWS

Downgrades to DNP Apple (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Apple was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, so his complete lack of activity Thursday is a step in the wrong direction. Troy Pride will likely handle increased defensive snaps if Apple is forced to miss Sunday's game in Atlanta.

Leaves with hamstring injury Apple won't return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a hamstring injury, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Apple was activated off injured reserve Saturday after missing the first three games of the season with ankle/foot issues, but he went down with the hamstring injury during his season debut. Troy Pride should see increased reps at cornerback for the Panthers.

Impact Apple is poised to make his Panthers debut Sunday after missing the first three games. The 25-year-old cornerback allowed a 100.9 passer rating when targeted last year, and while that's nothing to be intrigued by, he should still be a boost to a Panthers defense that has allowed 258.3 passing yards per game -- the eighth-most in the league.

Back at practice Apple (ankle) will practice Wednesday, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Apple's return to practice signifies the start of a 21-day window for the Panthers to add him to the active roster, or to allow him to revert to IR for the rest of the season. Once he's back to full health, Apple is expected to push for one of Carolina's starting cornerback positions.

Won't play in September The Panthers placed Apple (ankle/foot) on injured reserve Monday, Myles Simmons of the team's official site reports.

Impact Apple missed a handful of practices with a hamstring injury, and he's also dealing with both ankle and foot issues. He'll be required to miss at least three weeks with the possibility of returning for Week 4's matchup versus Arizona. The Panthers claimed Rasul Douglas off waivers Sunday, and the new addition could get the first shot at the starting cornerback job sans Apple.

Dealing with injury Apple missed Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring issue, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact It's unclear how Apple suffered the hamstring injury, however, the team hopes it can get him back for Friday's practice. The Ohio State product was signed this offseason to fill a void at cornerback, as the Panthers signed him away from their NFC South rival the Saints. Once at full strength, Apple should be back taking first-team reps, getting ready to start in Carolina's secondary in 2020.
