Despite fears that they would miss this week's game with the Carolina Panthers, both Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker and running back Willis McGahee are active for Sunday. Decker, who caught nine passes for 88 yards and two touchdowns last week, had been nursing a thigh injury. McGahee has struggled with a knee problem. Both players fully participated in practice through the end of the week. Cornerback Tracy Porter, who has not participated since Week 5, remains inactive.

For Carolina, center Geoff Hangartner is active despite a knee injury. Tackle Jordan Gross, who was previously listed as probable for non-injury reasons, will play. Backup defensive end Antwaan Applewhite is inactive due to a hamstring injury, as is backup offensive tackle Bruce Campbell.
