Ransom (thumb) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Ransom suffered a thumb injury in Carolina's surprising win over the Rams on Nov. 30, but he seems to have recovered during the Panthers' Week 14 bye. With Tre'von Moehrig available after having returned from a one-game suspension, Ransom will likely be relegated to a backup role Sunday against the Saints.

Head coach Dave Canales told reporters Monday that Ransom sustained a thumb injury in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Rams, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Tre'von Moehrig suspended for the Week 13 contest, Ransom drew the start and performed phenomenally, recording 11 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks. However, it now appears he's sustained a thumb injury in the process, and the Panthers are still looking into various treatment options and timelines. Carolina has a Week 14 bye, which may give the rookie safety enough time to recover ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Saints.

Ransom is expected to start at safety in place of Tre'von Moehrig (suspension) against the Rams on Sunday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ransom underwent a procedure on his hand earlier this month, but he seems to be back to full health now. The rookie has recently played about one-third of Carolina's defensive snaps, but he'll likely take on a much larger role Sunday. Moehrig's suspension is for just one game, so Ransom's time as a starter could be short-lived.

Ransom (hand) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Ransom underwent a hand procedure last Wednesday and didn't practice at all during the week. He consequently missed Sunday's win over Atlanta, but his ability to practice in full Thursday suggests he'll be able to return to action Monday against San Francisco. Ransom has been a rotational defensive back during his rookie campaign while also working as a core special-teamer.

Ransom (hand) is out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ransom will sit out his first game of the year in Week 11 after undergoing a procedure to address a hand issue. His absence may open up a few snaps in the secondary for Demani Richardson on Sunday.

Ransom (hand) did not practice Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer, Ransom underwent a hand procedure and is considered day-to-day. It's unclear if he has a chance to suit up for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta, and he'll likely need to turn in some level of practice participation in the next two days.

Ransom (illness) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Ransom was limited in practice Wednesday but appears to be on track to play after recording a full practice Thursday. The 23-year-old has served as Carolina's top reserve safety though nine games this season, accounting for 26 total tackles and one forced fumble over 294 total snaps (179 on defense and 115 on special teams).

EDGE Analysis

Ransom has served as one of Carolina's top reserve safeties in his first nine NFL games, recording 26 total tackles and one forced fumble over 294 total snaps (179 on defense, 115 on special teams). The rookie from Ohio State likely needs to upgrade to full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid an injury designation for the Week 10 matchup against the Saints.
