Panthers announce 4 roster moves ahead of Week 13 matchup vs. Buccaneers

The Panthers have activated OLB Amaré Barno from the physically unable to perform list.

The Carolina Panthers made a handful of adjustments before their Week 13 clash with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

As announced on Saturday afternoon, the team has activated outside linebacker Amaré Barno from the physically unable to perform list. The third-year defender has not played since tearing his ACL in last season’s Week 16 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Barno was selected by the Panthers in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL draft. The Blythewood, S.C. native has since gone on to appear in 24 games, amassing 30 combined tackles (three for a loss) and 2.0 sacks.

To make room for Barno on the active roster, the Panthers waived outside linebacker Thomas Incoom. Incoom played in seven games for Carolina this season, with 156 of his 194 total snaps coming on special teams.

The Panthers also elevated wide receiver Dan Chisena and tight end Stephen Sullivan from the practice squad. They’ll provide some depth in the absences of rookie pass catchers Jalen Coker and Ja’Tavion Sanders, both of whom were ruled out from the contest on Friday.

Panthers hold out 7 players from practice on Wednesday

Panthers rookie WR Jalen Coker, who sat out from the team’s Week 12 loss to the Chiefs, missed practice to start Week 13.

The Carolina Panthers remained without one of their most exciting playmakers on Wednesday.

After he was down as inactive for the team’s Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, wideout Jalen Coker did not participate in this afternoon’s practice due to his quadriceps injury. Head coach Dave Canales told reporters that he does not expect the rookie to play in this Sunday’s matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Joining Coker was fellow rookie and tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders. Sanders was carted off from Sunday’s game after injuring his neck.

Canales confirmed on Monday that the 21-year-old escaped a “pretty bad” injury, one that saw him land on the top of his head. He, per Canales, is also expected to sit this weekend.

Here’s the full injury report on the day:

Injury Wednesday Thursday Friday Game status

Panthers designate another defender to return to practice

The Panthers have designated S Nick Scott to return to practice.

The Carolina Panthers defense continues to crawl back to health.

As announced on Wednesday afternoon, the team has designated safety Nick Scott to return to practice. The sixth-year veteran has missed the last four games due to a hamstring injury.

Scott joined the Panthers on a one-year deal this past offseason. He’s gone on to appear in seven games with four starts thus far—totaling 28 combined tackles and two passes defensed.

Carolina moved Scott to injured reserve on Oct. 26, the day prior to their Week 8 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

He now has 21 days to be activated to the 53-man roster.

Along with Scott, the Panthers have also recently designated outside linebacker Amaré Barno as a returnee to practice. Barno, whose three-week window was officially opened up by the team back on Nov. 18, has yet to play this season as he continues his comeback from an ACL tear sustained in late 2023.

Panthers Week 12 injury report: WR Adam Thielen expected to play vs. Chiefs

Panthers WR Adam Thielen is expected to make his return in Week 12.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young should have his safety net back here in Week 12.

According to head coach Dave Canales, wide receiver Adam Thielen (questionable) is expected to play in this Sunday’s matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 11th-year veteran, who has missed the last seven games due to a hamstring injury, led the team in receptions (103) and receiving yards (1,014) in 2023.

Canales and crew are also expecting rookie running back Jonathon Brooks (questionable) to make his NFL debut in the contest. Brooks, Carolina’s second-round selection from the 2024 draft, tore his ACL last November.

Kicker Eddy Piñeiro (questionable), per Canales, will suit up as well. Canales told reporters that Piñeiro tweaked his knee while celebrating his walk-off kick against the New York Giants in Week 10.

Panthers OLB Amaré Barno designated to return to practice

The Panthers have opened up the practice window for OLB Amaré Barno.

The Carolina Panthers may be getting back even more firepower off the edge.

As announced by the team on Monday morning, outside linebacker Amaré Barno has been designated to return to practice. The 25-year-old defender, who tore his ACL in last year’s Week 16 loss to the Green Bay Packers, has been on the physically unable to perform list since the start of the regular season.

Barno was selected by the Panthers in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL draft. The Blythewood, S.C. native has since gone on to appear in 24 games for the Panthers, amassing 30 combined tackles (three for a loss) and 2.0 sacks.

The Panthers, who have been struggling to maintain a consistent rotation of pass rushers in 2024, just got outside linebacker D.J. Wonnum back from his quad injury. Wonnum made his team debut in the Week 10 win over the New York Giants, where he recorded six tackles and a sack.

Panthers expecting 3 players to return to practice this week

Panthers HC Dave Canales said he’s expecting a trio of players to return to practice this week.

Monday was a rather sobering day for the Carolina Panthers, who will be forced to deal with a couple of more difficult injuries.

First, the team learned that they’ll have to finish the 2024 campaign without captain and longtime linebacker Shaq Thompson—who tore his Achilles tendon in yesterday’s 34-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. They also found out about a setback to their other starting inside ‘backer, as Josey Jewell could be down for a couple of weeks due to hamstring and groin issues.

But some much-needed reinforcements could soon be on the way

After filling the media in on Thompson and Jewell this afternoon, head coach Dave Canales was asked about this week’s availability of the players who began the season on injured reserve.

“Yeah, expecting Dane [Jackson], Jaden [Crumedy], Ian Thomas to get out there, be back on the practice field,” Canales replied. “Get a new set of eyes on these guys. We talk about competition all the time, and I love what it brings to our group—just being able to get out there, play fast, guys who are excited to get back to football.

“But again—they gotta be out there, they gotta handle the load. Still, with all that timing, they haven’t been on the field with us running our plays and all that. So this is a great opportunity for those guys to get rolling and for us to get a look at them.”

With four weeks now in the books, players who began the campaign on injured reserve are eligible to return to practice. Once they are officially back on the practice field, the Panthers will have 21 days to return them to the active roster.

If they are not added to the active roster within that 21-day window, they are no longer eligible to play for the remainder of the season.

Along with Jackson, Crumedy, Thomas, other notable Panthers who are on the shelf include rookie running back and second-round pick Jonathon Brooks as well as outside linebackers D.J. Wonnum and Amaré Barno.
