Panthers S Kurt Coleman has put in 2 full practices this week after sitting out Week 17 with an ankle injury. That should mean he's ready for full duty in Sunday's playoff game against the Saints. We've added him to the playoff IDP rankings -- though Coleman remains a weak option, given that we don't expect Carolina to make it past Round 1.

Panthers S Kurt Coleman (ankle) is inactive for today’s game against the Falcons

Panthers S Kurt Coleman (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons. He put in limited practices Thursday and Friday after sitting out Wednesday. The 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff makes it tougher to wait on Coleman, so you might need to go a different direction in your IDP lineup. We'll confirm his status around 3 p.m. ET when the late-game inactives come out.

Panthers S Kurt Coleman (knee) is questionable for the 2nd straight week. He remained inactive for last week's loss at Chicago but appears ready to return after putting in full practices all week.

Panthers S Kurt Coleman is inactive once again for today's game against the Bears. Carolina had hoped he'd be ready to return from a knee sprain that cost him the past 2 games, but Coleman will have to wait at least another week.

Panthers S Kurt Coleman might be ready to return from his knee sprain for Sunday's game against the Bears. He's officially questionable for the game, and HC Ron Rivera said he might be a game-time decision, according to the team website. The whole situation makes Coleman a risky IDP option even if he returns.

Panthers S Kurt Coleman sprained the MCL in his left knee in Sunday's win over the Patriots and could miss a month, the team reported Monday. Rookie Demetrious Cox is expected to step in next to SS Mike Adams, with Colin Jones also rotating in, according to ESPN's David Newton. The Panthers head to Detroit this Sunday.

The Panthers will have DE Mario Addison (foot), S Kurt Coleman (concussion) and CB Daryl Worley (concussion) in the lineup against the Chargers. All 3 are active after entering the day questionable. Addison remains a risky start and is a boom/bust IDP candidate anyway. Coleman and Worley are top fantasy options among DBs for the week.

Panthers S Kurt Coleman cleared the concussion protocol Saturday and is on track to play Sunday against the Chargers. Coleman missed Week 14 with the concussion but should be good to go in IDP lineups if he's active.

The Panthers have ruled DE Charles Johnson out for Sunday's game against the Chargers with a hamstring injury. MLB Luke Kuechly, CB Daryl Worley and S Kurt Coleman are all officially questionable, though each is expected to play barring a setback in their recoveries from concussions. DE Mario Addison (foot) is also questionable. He put in a full practice Friday after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday. We'll check on his status Sunday and keep tabs on the concussion crew through the weekend.

Panthers MLB Luke Kuechly practice in full Friday and is on track to play Sunday against the Chargers, "barring a last-minute setback in the concussion protocol," according to ESPN's David Newton. Kuechly, S Kurt Coleman and CB Daryl Worley were all reportedly due to meet with the medical staff after putting in a full practice Friday, and then meet again early Saturday for final clearance. We'll watch the status for all 3 players, all of whom sit well within starter territory at their positions in our Week 14 rankings.

The Panthers have ruled MLB Luke Kuechly (concussion), S Kurt Coleman (concussion) and DE Mario Addison (foot) out for Sunday night's game at Seattle. That will mean another start for A.J. Klein in Kuechly's place. It should also mean more playing time for DE Kony Ealy, who played his most snaps last Sunday since Week 6. Michael Griffin has worked in as the 3rd safety and figures to take Coleman's spot. Only Klein's worth any IDP attention in most leagues, though Seattle presents some sack upside for Ealy. He has registered a QB hit in 3 straight games, including a pair of sacks.

Panthers S Kurt Coleman suffered a broken thumb in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, but Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer reports that he can play through the injury. Coleman figures to emerge with a cast if he's active for Sunday's game in L.A. That will almost certainly limit his ability to intercept passes and thus his IDP upside for however long he's in a cast. We'll keep an eye on the situation, but Coleman's not a high-level IDP at full health.

Panthers S Kurt Coleman (foot) is doubtful for Sunday's finale against the Bucs. That takes a starting IDP option out of fantasy lineups but doesn't alter the outlook for the Panthers' team D.
