The Carolina Panthers are looking to bounce back from a Week 7 loss as they share the field Thursday against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. Carolina got some good news heading into that matchup, with wide receiver Jalen Coker practicing in full on Tuesday, according to the team's latest injury report.

Coker was a limited practice participant on Monday, sparking fears about his chances to play against the Packers due to a shoulder injury. While he's not yet removed from the injury report, he's now widely expected to eventually get cleared to see action versus Green Bay.

The 24-year-old Coker is coming off a letdown performance. After racking up 97 receiving yards on six receptions and 13 targets in a 25-14 win on the road over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6, the former Holy Cross Crusaders star caught only one of four targets for nine receiving yards in a 43-13 demolition at the hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a Week 7 game on Sunday at home. Carolina's attack was grounded as a whole in that contest by Tampa Bay, and it will be aiming to bounce back this Thursday in Titletown.
