Cotchery (ankle) practiced fully Wednesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sidelined since Week 2 due to a high-ankle sprain, Cotchery's return to drills Tuesday forecast Wednesday's development. In the regular season opener, he was targeted six times, which only Greg Olsen has matched in each of the Panthers' three games in the interim. Going forward, expect Cotchery to jostle with Ted Ginn for secondary targets behind Olsen.
