CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Jan. 18, 2006) -- Carolina defensive end Julius Peppers was one of seven players to miss practice as the Panthers prepared to play Seattle in the NFC championship.

Also missing practice were fullback Brad Hoover (ankle), center Jeff Mitchell (knee), defensive tackle Kindal Moorehead (ankle), guard Tutan Reyes (toe), defensive tackle Jordan Carstens (illness) and safety Mike Minter (wrist).
All are listed as questionable except for Carstens and Minter, who are probable.
