The calvary is on its way.
Wednesday's injury report for the Carolina Panthers was a sight for sore eyes, as a handful of players made their returns to practice. Included in the bunch were running back Jonathon Brooks, wide receiver Xavier Legette and cornerback Mike Jackson—all of whom were designated to return earlier this afternoon.
Joining them were left guard Damien Lewis and outside linebacker Jaelan Phillips. Lewis has been sidelined with a knee injury since Week 8 and Phillips with a bothersome hamstring since Week 7.
Rookie cornerback Will Lee III was back on the field as well. The fourth-round pick did not play in this past Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos after tweaking his hamstring in the prior game against the Green Bay Packers.
Brooks, Legette, Jackson, Lewis, Phillips and Lee were all listed as full participants.
