Still really sore today. He had a really big week, was feeling it, was able to push through, show up in the game and take a bunch of reps, but we&#8217;re going to get a little bit more back into the tank for him before we put him back out there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Outside linebacker <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break:break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.panthers.com\/team\/players-roster\/cam-gill\/\" title=\"Cam Gill\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cam Gill<\/a> finished the game after suffering a shoulder injury (he had a sack against the Bills) , but Canales said he was &#8220;really sore today.&#8221; He&#8217;s expected to practice Wednesday and play this week.<\/p>\n<p>Wide receiver <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break:break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.panthers.com\/team\/players-roster\/ja-seem-reed\/\" title=\"Ja&#039;seem Reed\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ja&#8217;seem Reed<\/a> was held out with a &#8220;sore calf.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re going to image that today, see what that is,&#8221; Canales said. &#8220;Came out of the game OK, but then things kind of start to present themselves a little bit in the days after.
