Held out of practice Wednesday Jewell (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Jewell is no longer listed as having a quadriceps injury, as he was last week, but the linebacker continues to be in concussion protocol and still isn't practicing.

Out for Week 17 Jewell (neck/head/quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bucs.

Impact Carolina is dipping deep into its reserves for help at linebacker this late into the season. With Jewell out for Week 17, he joins Trevin Wallace (shoulder/IR), Shaq Thompson (Achilles/IR) and Claudin Cherelus (toe/IR) on the sidelines.

Ready to rock Jewell (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals.

Impact Jewell had his DNP on Thursday sandwiched between limited practices as he works through a hamstring injury he likely picked up in Carolina's Week 13 loss to Tampa Bay. His return to practice Friday is a step in the right direction, but his official status for Sunday's game might not be known until the Panthers announce their inactives list approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Downgrades to DNP on Thursday Jewell (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

Impact Jewell practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday, so his lack of participation Thursday represents a clear step in the wrong direction. The veteran linebacker was Carolina's leading tackler Week 13 against the Buccaneers and is an integral every-down player for a defensive front that can't spare any more attrition to injury. He'll likely need to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday for any chance of being available for Sunday's road matchup against the Eagles.
