Cotchery (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday, the Charlotte Observer reports. Cotchery missed last Sunday's game due to a hamstring injury, but has returned to action to begin the Panthers' preparations for this week's game against the Ravens. While the veteran wideout's involvement level should be monitored on a day-to-day basis, Cotchery being available could spell a reduced role for Philly Brown, who caught seven passes for 66 yards last game.
