CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Carolina wide receiver Keary Colbert practiced Thursday and is likely to be ready for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints.
<!-- esi: /widget/story/videoAndPhotoGallery?contentId=3285242-->"I'm going to play. It's not a question," said Colbert, who sprained in ankle on a touchdown catch in Sunday's 37-20 win against Tampa Bay.
Defensive end Mike Rucker, who missed his second straight day of practice Thursday, remains questionable with a foot injury.
The Panthers, who started 1-7, have won six of their last seven games and could make the playoffs if they win and either St. Louis or Minnesota lose. Colbert, who replaced Steve Smith after he was injured in the second week of the season, set a record for receiving yards and touchdowns by a rookie. He has 45 catches for 717 yards and five TDs.
