The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... Ginn was a surprise addition to the injury report Friday after the team's top deep threat felt soreness in his knee following Thursday's practice. Ginn sat out Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional-round game against Seattle, but Ginn said he would play. "Just a little soreness. It happens when you have a little injury, I guess," Ginn said. "It was a collective group (decision). I just sat down for the day. Get ready for (Saturday) and Sunday."

Diehards Line: Ginn sat out the regular-season finale against Tampa Bay and did not practice last week during the Panthers’ bye. But he participated in the Wednesday and Thursday practices before visiting a doctor Thursday in what HC Ron Rivera characterized as a precautionary measure. Ginn declined to reveal the nature or extent of his injury. But he left little question about his status for Sunday’s game, saying he expected to return punts in addition to his receiving duties. “I’m going to be where I’ve always been,” Ginn said. “Ted Ginn is 100 percent for everything.” Ginn had one catch for 18 yards in the Week 6 win at Seattle but Rivera pointed out that Ginn’s speed and deep-threat presence are beneficial to the Panthers and open up the field for the other receivers.
