CARWR • #5

Diontae Johnson (ribs) suffered a new injury on Friday and was already dealing with ankle and hamstring injuries.

The Panthers only listed Johnson with an ankle injury on the Wednesday and Thursday injury reports. He has been rehabbing the ankle injury for multiple weeks. He then appeared on Friday’s injury report with hamstring and ribs injuries as well, prompting reporters to ask Dave Canales for clarification. Canales explained that Johnson suffered the hamstring injury in Week 6, and regarding the ribs issue, “something kind of... tightened up on him” during Friday’s practice. For what it’s worth, Canales also noted that Johnson “looked good” and was “moving around quickly” before the ribs issue popped up. Johnson regularly plays through injuries but this is a situation to monitor through the weekend.
