Phillips hasn't practiced since aggravating a hamstring injury in the Panthers' Week 6 win over the Eagles. With the benefit of a mini-bye coming off a Thursday night loss to the Packers in Week 8, Phillips may have a chance at putting an end to a two-game absence. The Panthers will see what, if anything, Phillips is able to do in practice this week before deciding on his status for the matchup with the Broncos.
