Woods (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Woods was battling an illness that spread through Carolina's locker room earlier in the week, but he practiced without limitations Friday after being limited Wednesday and Thursday. He'll occupy his usual starting free safety role Sunday against the Packers.

Woods (illness) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old safety seems to be hindered by an illness, and he's now recorded consecutive limited sessions to open Carolina's week of practice. Unless Woods is able to practice in full Friday, he'll almost certainly carry an injury designation into the weekend.

Woods (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
What kind of illness Woods is dealing with is unclear at this point, but in any case, his availability for Week 15 is now in jeopardy. If he can't go Sunday, one of Sam Franklin (illness) or Alex Cook would be in line to start in Woods' place.

Woods (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Woods was a full participant at practice Friday, meaning he's likely on the probable end of the official questionable designation. But if he sits out in Week 11, Sam Franklin could end up starting at safety next to Vonn Bell on Sunday.

Woods is active for Thursday's matchup against the Bears, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Woods was sidelined earlier in the season due to a hamstring issue, and he reappeared on the injury report prior to Thursday's contest with a groin injury. However, he'll be prepared to suit up and will help a Panthers' defense that is getting healthier thanks to the return of fellow safety Vonn Bell.

Woods (thigh) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Woods was able to log a limited practice Wednesday after being designated as a DNP on Monday and Tuesday. With injuries mounting across the Panthers' defense, the Lousiana Tech product's potential availability would be good news for Carolina.
