Gardiner (upper body) was held out of Monday's practice, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gardiner missed five games with an upper-body injury before returning for Sunday's win over the Panthers. His absence from Monday's practice appears to be related to that previous injury. It's uncertain if he'll miss any time as a result. Jake Bean will likely re-enter the lineup if Gardiner is sidelined again.
