Logs full practice Tuesday Henderson (ankle) was a full participant at practice Tuesday ahead of Saturday's game versus Detroit, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Henderson was forced out of Carolina's loss versus Pittsburgh in Week 15 with an ankle injury, but it apparently wasn't severe, as he appears to be on track to play again in Week 16. He'll probably step back in as the Panthers' second boundary corner across from Jaycee Horn on Saturday.

Exits versus Pittsburgh Henderson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers with an ankle injury, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Henderson did not log a statistic before injuring his ankle at some point in the first half. The 24-year-old has stepped up into a bigger role since starting cornerback Donte Jackson went down with a season-ending Achilles injury, playing every defensive snap in two of the Panthers' previous three games. With Henderson currently sidelined, Keith Taylor has stepped in for the time being, according to Steve Reed of the Associated Press.

Reaches career-high 10 tackles Henderson recorded 10 tackles during Sunday's 13-3 loss to the Ravens.

Impact Henderson recorded a new career-best 10 stops Sunday against Baltimore, while his previous career high was eight tackles on two separate occasions. With both of fellow cornerbacks Donte Jackson (Achilles) and Stantley Thomas-Oliver (thigh) currently on injured reserve, the 24-year-old is expected to play a prominent role in Carolina's secondary moving forward. The Panthers' next matchup comes Sunday versus the Broncos.

Impact Henderson has played 20 games with the Panthers since being traded from Jacksonville in Week 4 of 2021, and he'll step up into a much bigger role while Henderson recovers from this injury sustained during Thursday's win over Atlanta. The 2020 first-round pick logged 370 defensive snaps while playing every game so far this season, and he should slot in opposite fellow starting cornerback Jaycee Horn beginning with Carolina's next game against the Ravens on Sunday, Nov. 20. Henderson collected 34 tackles, three passes defended and an interception over Carolina's first 10 games.

Totals season-high eight stops Henderson tallied eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Bengals.

Impact Despite playing just 50 percent of the Panthers' defensive snaps, Henderson ranked second on the team in tackles behind Shaq Thompson. The cornerback's eight stops were the most he has recorded in any game this season and tied his career single-game high. Henderson has 33 tackles through nine games this year, six short of the career-best 39 he recorded over 12 games between Jacksonville and Carolina last season.

NFL odds Week 8: Wacky wins and bad beats

Absent from injury report Henderson (shoulder) was not listed on the Panthers' injury report Thursday.

Impact Henderson clear concussion protocol heading into Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, though he was forced to exit with a shoulder injury at some point during the contest. However, this issue appears to have been minor, as the 24-year-old did not appear on Carolina's injury report Wednesday or Thursday. Henderson has compiled 25 tackles and one pass defended on 257 defensive snaps over seven contests this season, and he could see an increased role if starting cornerback Jaycee Horn (ribs) remains sidelined Sunday against the Falcons.

Leaves with injury Henderson is questionable to return Sunday against the Buccaneers with a shoulder injury, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Henderson's current absence will be a blow to the team's secondary depth, with Jaycee Horn still nursing a rib injury. While Henderson is out, Tae Hayes will see extra opportunity.

OCTOBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will suit up Sunday Henderson (concussion) has been deemed active for Sunday's contest against Tampa Bay.

Impact Henderson suffered a concussion in Week 6 against the Rams, but he was able to participate fully in practice Friday and appears to have cleared league protocols. His presence against the Buccaneers is a significant boost since Jaycee Horn (ribs) has been ruled out.

OCTOBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to full participation Henderson (concussion) was a full participant at the Panthers' practice Friday.

Impact Henderson returned to full participation at practice Friday, a big step in returning from the concussion he suffered in Week 6 against the Rams. The cornerback has yet to be cleared from concussion protocols, but he has a real shot at suiting up to play Sunday versus the Buccaneers. With Jaycee Horn (ribs) and Donte Jackson (ankle) also questionable to play, Carolina could be thin in the secondary this week.

OCTOBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Limited Thursday Henderson (concussion) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Henderson sustained a concussion during Sunday's loss to the Rams and was a non-participant in practice Wednesday. The third-year cornerback worked his way back in a limited fashion Thursday, and he'll have one more practice to clear protocols before this coming Sunday versus Tampa Bay. Henderson has recorded 21 tackles and a pass defensed while lining up alongside Donte Jackson (ankle) and Jaycee Horn (ribs) through six weeks, though he could see increased usage if either of these two are sidelined against the Buccaneers.

OCTOBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not practicing Wednesday Henderson (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Henderson suffered the concussion during Carolina's Week 6 loss to the Rams and will have to clear the league's protocols before returning to game action. He'll have two more opportunities to practice before the Panthers need to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay.

OCTOBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Sunday Henderson (concussion protocol) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest versus the Rams, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Henderson amassed five tackles before leaving Sunday's matchup against the Rams with concussion symptoms. With both of fellow cornerbacks Donte Jackson (ankle) and Jaycee Horn (ribs) nursing injuries of their own, the Panthers are currently left with Keith Taylor and Tae Hayes as the only healthy cornerbacks for the rest of the afternoon.

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Suiting up Sunday Henderson (knee) is will play Sunday against the Rams.

Impact Henderson was a limited participant in practice all week. His ability to take the field Sunday is good news for the Panthers secondary, as Jaycee Horn (ribs) has been ruled out. As a result, Henderson could see an uptick in snaps against the Rams.

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with knee injury Henderson (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Impact Henderson practiced in limited fashion all week, providing some hope he'll be available to take on the Rams. He has typically played just under half of the team's defensive snaps and has tallied 16 total tackles and a pass defended across five games. Henderson joins a lengthy list of players with uncertain statuses in Carolina's secondary, including Jaycee Horn (ribs) and Donte Jackson (ankle).
