CHARLOTTE — Of the four players who exited Sunday's win in Atlanta and did not return, only cornerback Donte Jackson (toe) participated in Wednesday's practice.

Jackson was on the field in a limited capacity after playing just one snap against the Falcons. Defensive end Brian Burns (concussion) was at practice during the portion open to media but was in a red jersey. He did not participate.

Head coach Matt Rhule announced after practice that defensive tackle Kawann Short will undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder after injuring it in the third quarter on Sunday. Short will be placed on the reserve/injured list.

Rhule did not have an update on defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos (ankle), who was not on the field.

Slated to start for Short, defensive tackle Zach Kerr was limited on Wednesday with a toe injury, as was wide receiver Curtis Samuel (knee).

Cornerback Eli Apple (hamstring) was also a limited participant. After returning from the reserve/injured list in Week 4, Apple played only six special teams snaps before injuring the opposite hamstring that sidelined him during training camp. He was a limited participant last Wednesday but sat out Thursday's and Friday's sessions.

While Christian McCaffrey (high ankle sprain) is eligible to return from IR this week, Rhule said the running back would not be activated just yet. McCaffrey's original timetable to return was 4-6 weeks, and he's missed only three games to this point.

"He's working to get back, and as soon as we can get him back, we'll get him back," Rhule said.

We won't know until Saturday. He has indicated to people he thinks he will but really only the doctors and test results dictate it. 

Thanks. I feel like he is our most important player on defensive line right now to generate pressure on the QB

      Top 5 draft targets for positions of need

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Daniel Jeremiah's top 50 players heading into the Combine.  Lol at the people still pining for Styles.  Dude will be LONG gone before our slot as I noted he would be.  Go ahead a keep drafting him at #19 if y'all want to keep ruining/making unrealistic mock drafts.   https://www.nfl.com/news/daniel-jeremiah-s-top-50-2026-nfl-draft-prospect-rankings-2-0

      Kmet is better than just 'meh'.   Mayer took a back seat to Bowers and is another TE that would relish a chance to start again.  Sanders, Temble and Evans is a better group of TEs than we've fielded during the Ian Thomas era, but it's far from stacked.  That's the problem, our TE room has sucked for so long now that  being 'better than crap' is apparently good enough--which it is not.

      Why? Feels like we got a whole TE crew of almost Kmets. Loveland surpassed Kmet easy and relegated Kmet to Tremble like stats. Kmet’s decent years were because of volume. Kmet had over 90 targets twice in his career. Tremble’s career high in targets is 37. Tremble could produce Kmet numbers with the same volume so why would you ever go for Kmet? Loveland or Bowers type studs, go for it. Meh TEs, we’ve got plenty.
