According to CBS Sports lead NFL insider Jonathan Jones, the Panthers have representation at Beckham Jr.’s private workout in Arizona on Friday. Carolina will be one of at least 11 teams reportedly in attendance for the showcase.

The now 30-year-old free agent sat out the entirety of this past season as he healed from a torn ACL—the second such setback of his career. He sustained the injury, which he claimed lingered throughout the half of the 2021 campaign, during the Los Angeles Rams’ Super Bowl LVI victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Beckham Jr. last played a full slate in 2019, in his first year with the Cleveland Browns. Since then, he’s appeared in 24 total games (including playoffs)—recording 1,172 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns.
