Quick Hits: Reich Gives Several Injury Updates, Talks QB Plan vs. Lions, Exciting Corner + More

Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich met with the media ahead of Tuesday's practice.

If Cade Mays (neck) will play Friday

"We want to make sure he progresses today and tomorrow as he should to be able to get cleared to be able to play in the game. You think that can happen, but that's not a given yet."

Laviska Shenault Jr. in concussion protocol

"It was an incidental contact. He was blocking on a run play and just got hit the wrong way at the wrong time. Didn't sense it was a bad hit. It wasn't one of those ones where you say 'ooh' but it happens every now and then."

If all four quarterbacks will play vs. Lions

"That would be nice. I don't know if that'll happen though. It would be nice if it would play out like that, but we'll have to wait and see."

If the expectation is for Troy Hill to be up for Week 1

"I would think so. As you know, our defensive coaches know him quite well. I mean, if you kind of get him at this point, it kind of gives you an indication what we're thinking. But then there's always the other side. There's always the little side of you still got to go out there and do it and earn it."

Donte Jackson injury update

"He was not in practice yesterday and will probably not play this game."

If Donte Jackson will be ready for Week 1

"I think so. I'm anticipating so."

How CJ Henderson has looked

"He's been great. Well, I shouldn't say that. I get a little excited. But he's been Mr. Consistency. Really excited about what he's put on tape."
