Panthers quarterback Bryce Young had a minor tweak to his ankle during Sunday's win over the Falcons, but it hasn't sidelined him.

Via multiple reporters, head coach Dave Canales said in his press conference that Young was a full participant in Thursday's practice as Carolina begins its practice week for Monday night's contest against San Francisco.

Young did not miss a play on Sunday, eventually setting a single-game franchise record with 448 passing yards. Young was named NFC offensive player of the week on Wednesday.

Canales also noted that he is not planning for linebacker Christian Rozeboom to be available for Monday night as he deals with a hamstring injury. But, Canales has not yet ruled out linebacker Trevn Wallace, who has a shoulder injury. Neither Rozeboom nor Wallace practiced on Thursday.

But safety Lathan Ransom was back on the field for the session after missing Week 11 with a hand injury.

Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' plans to get on the practice field on Thursday came to fruition.

Reporters at the open portion of the Steelers practice shared pictures of Rodgers in uniform and going through drills. The team's injury report will bring word about how much work Rodgers did during the session.

Rodgers suffered a fracture in his left wrist during last Sunday's win over the Bengals. He said on Wednesday that he wants to play, but needs to know he'll be able to protect himself on the field along with getting a green light from the medical staff in order to face the Bears.

Mason Rudolph would be the likely starter if Rodgers does not play. Rookie Will Howard would serve as Rudolph's backup in that case.

The Vikings parted ways with cornerback Dwight McGlothern on Thursday.

The team announced that they have waived McGlothern ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers. They did not make any corresponding addition to the 53-man roster, but have center Ryan Kelly on his way back from injured reserve and could use the opening to activate him this week.

McGlothern signed with the Vikings after going undrafted last year. He appeared on special teams and defense in five games as a rookie and in eight games this season. McGlothern did not record a tackle in any of those appearances.

Isaiah Rodgers, Byron Murphy, and Fabian Moreau are the remaining corners on the active roster in Minnesota.
