Rookie left guard Jared Wilson missed his second straight practice with listed knee and ankle injuries. His availability is in doubt. If Wilson cannot play, veteran backup Ben Brown is expected to replace him, having practiced with the starting offensive line Wednesday and Thursday.

The Patriots listed star cornerback Christian Gonzalez (hamstring) as a limited participant for a fifth straight practice, though Gonzalez increased his activity during initial drills. He is expected to play this weekend.

Panthers rookie receiver Tetairoa McMillan was upgraded to limited participation Thursday. McMillan is Carolina’s leading receiver, and he is currently dealing with a calf injury that held him out of Wednesday’s practice.

The Panthers added starting running back Chuba Hubbard to their injury report with a new calf injury, while wideout Xavier Legette, tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders and outside linebacker D.J. Wonnum were out for a second straight day.

Both teams’ complete injury reports are below.
