Gunter is in uniform and warming up for Friday's preseason matchup with Miami, Joe Person of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Gunter suffered a concussion last week and just recently cleared the league-mandated protocol. The team announced earlier that the cornerback would be available, but it wasn't clear at the time if he would play. Expect him to see action with the second- or third-team defense.

Panthers' Ladarius Gunter: Cleared of concussion
Gunter cleared concussion protocol and will be available for Friday's preseason game against the Dolphins, Max Henson of the Panthers' official site reports.
Gunter has been out for over a week since suffering the concussion, but he appears to no longer be showing symptoms. Assuming he is a full go, Friday night should serve as a good opportunity for Gunter to prove his worth and increase his chances of making the Panthers' final roster.

Panthers' Ladarius Gunter: Enters concussion protocol
Gunter is being evaluated for a concussion after leaving Thursday's game against the Bills, Max Henson of the Panthers' official site reports.
Gunter is not a roster lock, so he'll hope to pass the league's concussion protocol in the near future to have a chance at making an impression at camp. The fourth-year cornerback recorded two solo tackles before exiting Thursday's contest.

Panthers' Ladarius Gunter: Remains with Panthers
The Panthers signed Gunter to a one-year contract Monday, Max Henson of the Panthers' official site reports.
Gunter entered the offseason as a restricted free agent for the Panthers, but the team opted not to offer him a tender. The 25-year-old played four games with Carolina and one with Green Bay in 2017, failing to record a tackle. Gunter is likely to serve as a depth cornerback and special teams contributor if he is able to earn a spot on the 53-man roster.

Panthers' Ladarius Gunter: Off radar in 2017
Gunter suited up in five games for the Panthers (four) and Packers (one) in the 2017 and recorded no tackles.
Gunter was able to record one solo tackle in the wild-card game against New Orleans, but he was blanked in the regular season. In 2016, he racked up 54 tackles and 12 pass breakups as a starting corner, but his lack of speed was subsequently exposed that postseason. Consequently, he's primarily regarded as a special teams player at this point.

Gunter (illness) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Panthers' Ladarius Gunter: Battling illness
Gunter (illness) didn't practice Friday and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site reports.
Gunter hasn't played a defensive snap since the Panthers picked him up after Week 1 and has no tackles on special teams either. With a fully healthy cornerback unit for Carolina, he'll likely be relegated to kickoff and punt coverage duty even if he manages to take the field.

Panthers' Ladarius Gunter: Picked up waivers by Carolina
The Panthers claimed Gunter off waivers Wednesday, Bill Voth of the team's official site reports.
Gunter, who was waived by Green Bay on Tuesday, is a smart corner who sees the field well, but he doesn't have the speed to make plays in the secondary. He'll work as a depth corner and special teams player in Carolina.

Packers' Ladarius Gunter: Records 12 passes defensed in 2016
Gunter finished the 2016 season with 54 tackles, two forced fumbles, and a team-high 12 passes defensed in 16 games played.
After playing just eight defensive snaps as an undrafted rookie in 2015, Gunter was in on 83.4 percent of Green Bay's defensive snaps in 2016. The Packers' top-3 cornerbacks entering the season -- Sam Shields (concussion), Damarious Randall, and Quinten Rollins -- all missed time due to injury, which allowed Gunter to carve out a role as the team's top cover corner. Gunter struggled when matched up with some of the better receivers in the NFL, but he impressed at times in the large role he was thrust into. He'll be looking to build off what was a breakout campaign in 2017.

Gunter (elbow) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Gunter injured his elbow Saturday versus the Vikings and wasn't able to return to the game. However, his total participation in Wednesday's practice suggests the ailment isn't serious and, barring a setback, Gunter should be fine to play in Sunday's season finale versus the Lions.
