It's another day closer to gameday and the Carolina Panthers still have starting guards Damien Lewis and Robert Hunt doing limited work during practice, nursing elbow and hip injuries respectively.

The two linemen have provided a major boost to the Panthers' offensive line, providing a clean pocket for Bryce Young and now, Andy Dalton while paving the way on the ground game. Chandler Zavala started in place of Lewis last week and did a serviceable job. If Lewis is out again, Zavala would most likely be in line to get the start once again. Should Hunt be ruled out, Brady Christensen or Jarrett Kingston could be called upon.

Here is the full injury report from Thursday's practice.
