Panthers’ Jaelan Phillips gets encouraging injury update from Dave Canales amid hamstring issue

Carolina Panthers linebacker Jaelan Phillips did not play against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Thursday due to a hamstring injury. The Panthers lost to the Packers, 27-19 , and fell to 3-4, including 2-2 on the road. Phillips has missed Carolina’s past two games after aggravating his hamstring injury in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles, leaving the defense with a big hole. The Panthers, however, could soon get one of their key defenders back after coach Dave Canales gave an encouraging update , as reported by The Athletic’s Joe Person.
