The Carolina Panthers decided to add some depth at the cornerback position in Cortland Finnegan, partially due to the injury to Charles Tillman and his unknown timeframe for a return.

Fortunately for the Panthers, it seems that Tillman may be back in Week 13, at least if you ask him, according to Steve Reed of the Associated Press.

What makes this even more interesting is the fact that Ed Werder of ESPN originally reported that the Panthers were concerned with Tillman's lack of progress.

It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out, but the Panthers are definitely hoping to get Tillman back sooner than later.
