Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks is scheduled to play in the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 15, according to head coach Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: Both Brooks and Chubba Hubbard are set to play in the team's second preseason game. Brooks missed all of last year due to a knee injury, but he's got the natural talent to be a productive runner in the pros. Current ADP has both backs being drafted near each other. Brooks is going off the board at RB36 (9.10) while Hubbard is RB35 (9.02) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Link to story Panthers | Jonathon Brooks will not play in Hall of Fame game Tue Aug 4, 02:49 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks will not play in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game on Thursday, Aug. 6. Brooks has not played for the Panthers since December of 2024.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers selected Brooks in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft. But a pair of ACL tears, one while at the University of Texas and the other during his rookie season in Carolina, has limited him to just three games since. Brooks, however, has received rave reviews throughout what's been his first full NFL offseason -- and seems encouraged by his progress. Fantasy investors are encouraged, too. Brooks' ADP has risen to RB37, which is up considerably over the last month. |

Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette cleared concussion protocol on Tuesday, Aug. 4. He was carted off from practice the day before.
Link to story Panthers | Xavier Legette in camp battle with David Moore Tue Aug 4, 01:55 AM
Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette is 'well-positioned' to win the No. 3 receiver job, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, though Fowler adds that WR David Moore is 'trusted and reliable' after working with head coach Dave Canales and offensive coordinator Brad Idzik with the Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers before arriving in Carolina.
| Footballguys view: Legette, a first-round pick in 2024, entered camp with heat on him after a subpar start to his pro career. The Panthers view Legette at his best when playing fast, and Fowler reports they don't want to overload his plate as a result. If Legette slips, Moore -- who should have a role regardless -- can step into a larger one. Neither Legette nor Moore is currently on redraft radars, but a solid No. 3 role for either would put them on the waiver-wire watchlist when the season opens. |

Link to story Panthers | Chris Brazzell II officially placed on IR Fri Jul 31, 02:59 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Chris Brazzell II (knee) was placed on injured reserve on Friday, July 31. He will miss the entire 2026 season.
| Footballguys view: There was an initial report that Brazzell would only miss eight weeks, but the team opted for season-ending surgery instead. 2024 first round pick Xavier Legette will be among the candidates for the #3 role that Brazzell had staked a claim to early in his first NFL training camp. John Metchie, Jimmy Horn Jr, Brycen Tremayne, and David Moore are other options the team will evaluate before they make any big move to replace Brazzell's expected impact. |
Panthers | Chris Brazzell to miss 2026 season Thu Jul 30, 01:49 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Chris Brazzell II (knee) is scheduled to undergo surgery on his torn lateral collateral ligament and will miss the entire 2026 season, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Brazzell should be placed on Injured Reserve in the near future. The initial thought was Brazzell might be able to avoid surgery. Instead, the Panthers are looking at long-term health for their rookie receiver. He should be 100 percent ready for training camp next year. |

Panthers | Rookie WR Chris Brazzell likely to miss eight weeks Wed Jul 29, 02:30 PM
Joe Person of The Athletic reports that Panthers rookie WR Chris Brazzell suffered an LCL tear that is expected to keep him out for up to eight weeks.
| Footballguys view: Brazzell, the team's third-round pick in April's draft, was injured in Wednesday's training camp practice. He went down during a 7-on-7 drill and had to be carted off the field. Head coach Dave Canales said that Brazzell was held out of a couple of earlier practices because of knee soreness, although Person reports that the injury is not believed to be related to the previous issue. The Panthers saw linebacker Nic Scourton go down with a torn ACL during practice last week, so it has been a rough start to camp on both sides of the ball for Carolina. |
Panthers | Rookie WR Chris Brazzell dealing with knee issue Wed Jul 29, 01:31 PM
Panthers WR Chris Brazzell aggravated the same left knee today that he missed a couple of recent practices for due to soreness, per HC Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: Brazzell, who was working his way into earning reps as a speedy field stretcher, is currently undergoing tests on that knee. We'll follow up as needed. |

Link to story Panthers | Jaycee Horn activated from NFI Tue Jul 28, 09:43 AM
Carolina Panthers CB Jaycee Horn (toe) was activated from the non-football injury list Tuesday, July 28. He suffered a cut on his toe while running that required stitches and has been running on the side during practices.
| Footballguys view: Horn landed on the list as camp opened last week due to a cut on his foot. He worked on side fields while the rest of the Panthers practiced last week, and Tuesday's move clears him for a full slate of activities. Tuesday's practice will be the first fully padded one of the summer for the defending NFC South champions. Four Panthers remain on the team's injury lists, and offensive tackles Ikem Ekwonu and Taylor Moton are expected to remain out into the regular season. |

Panthers | Jonathon Brooks showing burst Sat Jul 25, 01:20 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks (knee) 'looks fast' during practice, according to head coach Dave Canales. 'He looks like the guy that I remember, and I'm really excited for that,' Canales said.
| Footballguys view: Brooks has been getting first-team reps in training camp, and there have been no limitations on him as he comes back from another knee injury. Most of his pro career has been missed due to ACL injuries, but expect a healthy Brooks to push for the eventual starting job in Carolina. At the beginning of the season, we expect Brooks and Chuba Hubbard to work in a RBBC. Brooks has a current ADP of RB38 (8.12) in 12-team PPR leagues. Injury risk is already cooked into his draft position, and clearly the upside is there for Brooks to do more. |
Panthers | Tetairoa McMillan on the field Sat Jul 25, 01:20 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (foot) has been able to practice at training camp after missing time during spring activities with a foot injury.
| Footballguys view: While limited in the spring, McMillan was planning on being ready for the start of training camp - which he is. He had a spectacular season as a rookie (70 catches, 1,014 yards, seven touchdowns), so Fantasy GMs are taking him at WR17 (4.01) in 12-team PPR leagues. With reports suggesting McMillan will play more 'big slot' this year, he could outperform his ADP. |
Panthers | Brady Christensen looks solid Fri Jul 24, 09:01 PM

Link to story Panthers | Nic Scourton to have surgery Fri Jul 24, 06:34 PM
Carolina Panthers DE Nic Scourton (knee) will undergo surgery in the next few weeks to repair his torn anterior cruciate ligament, according to head coach Dave Canales.
Link to story Panthers | Serious injury for Nic Scourton Fri Jul 24, 05:29 PM
Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers DE Nic Scourton (knee) is believed to have suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament during practice Thursday, July 23, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Cameron Wolfe. He is scheduled to receive a second opinion to confirm the injury and is expected to have surgery in a few weeks if it is confirmed.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers have lost their #2 defensive end - an ascendant 2025 second round pick - in addition to being without their starting left and right tackles to open the season. One of their starting guards and starting corners are going for scans to have back issues checked out. After it felt like the team was turning things around after pushing the Rams to the brink in the wild card round of the playoffs, Carolina has a lot of adversity to overcome before most teams have even started training camp. |

Link to story Panthers | Tetairoa McMillan to get more work in the slot Thu Jul 23, 03:14 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan is expected to play 'a lot more big slot' in 2026, according to NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe.
| Footballguys view: This report indicates we could see the team double the amount of snaps McMillan had at 'big slot' last year. That could put him in the nearly 30 percent range of routes run against safeties and linebackers. McMillan has a current ADP of WR17 (4.02) and getting more 'big slot' opportunities will help him perform up to expectations. |
Panthers | Jonathon Brooks will have 'no limitations' Thu Jul 23, 03:10 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks will have 'no limitations' returning to practice.
| Footballguys view: Great news for the Panthers here. Brooks is set to be in an RBBC with Chubba Hubbard, and reports from the spring indicate Brooks has looked incredible. He's going off the board near the turn at the end of the 8th round (RB39), and Brooks certainly provides upside to do more if he can stay healthy. |
