CHARLOTTE — The Panthers may be getting closer to getting another key offensive player back in the mix.
Tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, after being limited on Wednesday.
Sanders has missed the last three games after catching 11 passes for 92 yards in the first three.
Outside linebacker Patrick Jones II (back) was out and is out for the year after an injury that required surgery.
Left guard Damien Lewis (chest) did not participate Thursday, but was in uniform and on the field during the portion of practice open to the media.
Wide receiver Jalen Coker (quadriceps) and offensive lineman Austin Corbett (knee) were again full participants as they work their way back from IR. Neither player has been activated to the 53-man roster yet.
