Friday's Practice Tweets and Injury Report

The practice horn blows and there's no sign of Philly Brown, who suffered a shoulder stinger yesterday

No helmet for Panthers CB Charles Tillman, who missed Thursday's practice with a sore knee. Could mean a lot more work for Bene' Benwikere on Sunday as an every down corner.

 

David Newton ‏@DNewtonespn  19m19 minutes ago

You will not see LG Andrew Norwell (hamstring) for the Panthers again this week

[Bartin]

Looking like both Tillman and Philly will be out on Sunday. Bene will likely play outside full time with Colin Jones taking over his role as slot CB. I would expect Funchess will see a greatly increased workload with Philly out and Norwood might even make an appearance.

Call me skeptical, but I think Tillman still plays.  He'll be questionable.  Philly however will probably be out.

Media portion of practice over. No P.Brown, C.Tillman on bike. A.Norwell, who won't play this weekend, getting in full sprints.

 

Good news on Norwell. Sounds like he will be good to go next week and Tillman being on a bike is promising and gives him a decent chance of playing Sunday whereas missing Thursday and Friday practices would almost definitely have him out.

Hope Norwood gets a jersey if Philly can't go. 

Probably going to be Bersin.

Bersin is more of the backup to the slot position which is Cotchery and Norwood is the outside guy. If Philly is out then I'd expect both Bersin and Norwood to be active with Norwood as the backup to Ginn and Funchess on the outside.

Norwell is out. Philly Brown and Charles Tillman are "very" doubtful

 

Fozzy and Dwan are probable which means they will play.

Jonathan Jones ‏@jjones9  49s49 seconds ago

Devin Funchess will get the start if Philly doesn't play

 

Joe Person ‏@josephperson  8s9 seconds ago

Bene' Benwikere would start for Tillman at CB, Colin Jones would be nickel.

 

Black & Blue Review ‏@BlackBlueReview  13s13 seconds ago

RR gives a “we’ll see” when asked if Bersin and Norwood will both be active. Bené would start for Tillman. CJones at nickel.

[Bartin]

Amini Silatolu obviously starts in place of Norwell.

[Mr. Scot]

People have suggested that Benwikere isn't doing well as a nickel this season. Some think he'd be better on the outside.

Looks like we might get to test that theory.

I'm one of those people and I'm definitely interested to see how he does on the outside if he gets the full game there likely covering Garcon with Norman on Desean Jackson.

I'm in the "Bene belongs on the outside" camp. hope he does well if Tillman can't go

[Chaos]

Maybe I missed something this week, but I thought all indications were that Norwell would be ready for this game.
