Held out of practice Wednesday Jewell (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Jewell is no longer listed as having a quadriceps injury, as he was last week, but the linebacker continues to be in concussion protocol and still isn't practicing.

Out for Week 17 Jewell (neck/head/quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bucs.

Impact Carolina is dipping deep into its reserves for help at linebacker this late into the season. With Jewell out for Week 17, he joins Trevin Wallace (shoulder/IR), Shaq Thompson (Achilles/IR) and Claudin Cherelus (toe/IR) on the sidelines. The Panthers are down to Jacoby Windmon, Jon Rhattigan and Chandler Wooten as their healthy linebackers ahead of a date with Bucky Irving.

Doesn't practice Thursday Jewell (neck/head/quadriceps) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

If he's unable to return to practice Friday, he would likely be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. With Trevin Wallace (shoulder) on injured reserve, Jon Rhattigan and Chandler Wooten would be the top candidates to start at inside linebacker alongside Jacoby Windmon if Jewell is unable to play.

Ready to rock Jewell (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals.

Impact Jewell has played through a hamstring injury through most of December, but that hasn't caused a dip in his production as he's logged 10 total tackles in each of his last three games. Unless he downgrades to a DNP on Friday's injury report, Jewell is expected to play against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Impact Jewell managed to play through his hamstring injury Week 14 versus Philadelphia, and handle 100 percent of defensive snaps, which bodes well for his chances of gaining clearance versus Dallas.
