CHARLOTTE (AP) — Carolina fullback Brad Hoover and safety Charles Godfrey have returned to practice following injuries, but the Panthers remain depleted at linebacker.

Hoover has missed the past three games with a high ankle sprain, while Godfrey has sat out four with a sprained ankle. Both practiced in full Wednesday and are expected to play Sunday at the New York Jets.

But Panthers starting strongside linebacker Na'il Diggs missed practice with a sore rib, a day after weakside linebacker Landon Johnson was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury. Johnson had been starting for Thomas Davis, who is out for the season with a torn knee ligament.

The injuries could leave James Anderson and Dan Connor starting opposite middle linebacker Jon Beason.
