Some good news Via @RapSheet on X

What happened: Carolina coach Dave Canales described Jaelan Phillips and Monroe Freeling as hopeful to suit up against Philly. Phillips is managing a hamstring issue while Freeling is managing a knee issue.

Why it matters: Getting Phillips back would restore a starting edge presence opposite the base front. Getting Freeling back would keep continuity across the offensive line entering a conference road game.

What to watch: Watch late-week participation and game-day inactives for final availability.
