Carolina Panthers Steve Wilks provided updates on the team prior to the Panthers Thursday Night Football matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. Panthers safety Jeremy Chinn has been designated to return from IR but Wilks stated that it would be "asinine" for him to play Chinn given the significant amount of time he's missed. On the other hand, Donte Jackson appears to be set to go after sitting out Sunday and Brian Burns is more of a mystery as he deals with a shoulder injury.

Another issue facing the Panthers is the threat of Tropical Storm Nicole, which could reach Charlotte right after kickoff on Thursday night. This should help to further emphasize the Panthers goal of stopping the Atlanta Falcons rushing attack.

There have been several reports of what the Panthers turned down for players like Brian Burns and DJ Moore. Julian Council answers whether the Panthers made a mistake by not shipping those two off along with other questions on this special Wednesday Mailbag edition of Locked On Panthers.
