J.C. Jackson (illness) returned to the practice field Friday and is good to go Sunday vs. the Panthers. However, 13 Patriots and a few Panthers are not.
Some are veterans on the injury report this season, while Christian Barmore and Jake Bailey are seeing his first action.
Panthers QB Sam Darnold cleared concussion protocol, but he still might not be available due to his right shoulder. Carolina also activated running back Christian McCaffrey — who missed five games due to a hamstring injury — from the injured list.
