Panthers release former 1st-round pick amidst flurry of moves on Tuesday

The Panthers announce a handful of moves on Tuesday.

The Carolina Panthers are really trying to make things work on defense.

Tuesday afternoon played host to a flurry of moves for the team, as they announced three additions and five departures. Among the five players on the outs is outside linebacker Shaq Lawson, who was signed to the practice squad a few weeks ago.

Lawson, a Central, S.C. native, was selected with the 19th overall pick of the 2016 draft by the Buffalo Bills. The Clemson University product was elevated to the main roster for this past Sunday’s 40-7 loss to the Washington Commanders, where he recorded 14 defensive snaps.

Carolina also released fellow pass rusher Marquis Haynes Sr., who has now spent each of his seven NFL campaigns with the Panthers. Haynes Sr. saw action in Week 6 and Week 7, totaling one pressure over 41 snaps.

In addition, the Panthers waived inside linebacker Chandler Wooten and defensive lineman T.J. Smith from the 53-man roster while releasing defensive lineman Jayden Peevy from the practice squad.

Those moves helped make room for the signings of defensive lineman Jonathan Harris and outside linebacker Cam Gill to the active roster and rookie center Andrew Raym to the practice squad.

Panthers announce 6 moves on Saturday

The Panthers, among a handful of moves made on Saturday, officially announced the release of CB Troy Hill.

The Carolina Panthers made a handful of adjustments a day ahead of their Week 7 matchup against the Washington Commanders.

As first reported by NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport yesterday afternoon, the team has released cornerback Troy Hill. The 10th-year veteran has spent the last two seasons as a member of the Panthers.

After splitting his previous eight campaigns between the Cincinnati Bengals, Los Angeles Rams and Cleveland Browns, Hill initially signed with Carolina in August of 2023. He’d go on to appear in 16 games that year—totaling 48 combined tackles, an interception (and subsequent return for a touchdown), a forced fumble and six passes defensed.

Hill re-signed with the Panthers on a one-year deal this past spring. The 33-year-old played in all six games this season.

Along with Hill’s departure, Carolina also waived rookie center Andrew Raym.

Those two spots on the active roster will be filled by defensive lineman T.J. Smith and cornerback Dane Jackson, who has yet to make his team debut after signing a two-year, $8.5 million contract this offseason. Jackson, while continuing to recover from a hamstring injury, was designated to return to practice on Oct. 2.

They’ll be joined by outside linebacker Shaq Lawson and inside linebacker Shaquille Quarterman, who have been elevated from the practice squad for tomorrow’s contest.

Panthers Week 7 injury report: 6 players ruled out vs. Commanders

The Panthers will be without a handful of starters in Week 7.

The Carolina Panthers defense will be without even more of their starters in Week 7.

Six players have been ruled out ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Washington Commanders—including defensive lineman A’Shawn Robinson (ankle) as well as inside linebackers Josey Jewell (hamstring/groin) and Claudin Cherelus (hamstring). Cherelus got the starting nod in place of Jewell in last week’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

On offense, the team will be without starting right tackle Taylor Moton (elbow) for the second straight outing and rookie running back Jonathon Brooks (knee). After being sidelined for the offseason and the first six weeks of the regular season, Brooks was officially designated to return to practice on Wednesday.

In addition, wide receiver Diontae Johnson (ankle)—who returned to the field on Friday after missing the two previous practices—has been listed as questionable.

Panthers WR Diontae Johnson misses 2nd straight practice on Thursday

Panthers WR Diontae Johnson was held out of practice once again on Thursday.

The Carolina Panthers were without their No. 1 receiver for the second straight day this week.

After being held out of Wednesday’s practice, wideout Diontae Johnson did not participate in Thursday’s session. Johnson—who leads the team in receptions (29), receiving yards (340) and receiving touchdowns (three)—has been dealing with an ankle injury.

Fellow starter and outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney also remained sidelined. The three-time Pro Bowler injured his shoulder during the Week 5 loss to the Chicago Bears.

Joining them was right tackle Taylor Moton, who missed the very first game of his NFL career this past Sunday due to an elbow issue.

Panthers WR Diontae Johnson, 8 others held out from Wednesday’s practice

WR Diontae Johnson and OT Taylor Moton were among the 9 Panthers who did not participate in today’s practice.

(This story was updated to add new information.)

The Carolina Panthers are beginning Week 7 with one heck of an injury report.

Eight players, including wideout Diontae Johnson and right tackle Taylor Moton, were held out of this afternoon’s practice.

Johnson, per head coach Dave Canales, is expected to be back for Thursday’s session. The team’s leading receiver has been nursing ankle and groin injuries throughout the season.

Moton, meanwhile, remains “day-to-day.” The eighth-year hog molly missed the very first game of his NFL career this past Sunday due to a triceps injury.

Outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney, who missed Week 6’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons, also did not participate. (Clowney’s initial listing as a “limited’ participant was officially changed by the team following the release of today’s injury report.)

Panthers Week 6 injury report: 5 players ruled out vs. Falcons

Panthers OLB Jadeveon Clowney may not be ready to go for Sunday’s matchup against the Falcons.

The anemic pass rush of the Carolina Panthers will probably be a whole lot weaker in Week 6.

After missing out on a third straight practice, starting outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney has been ruled doubtful for Sunday’s matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The three-time Pro Bowler has been sidelined due to a shoulder injury he sustained in the Week 5 loss to the Chicago Bears.

Outside of Clowney, the Panthers are currently carrying four edge rushers on their active roster—Charles Harris, Thomas Incoom, Tarron Jackson and DJ Johnson. Carolina has also recently signed Marquis Haynes Sr. and former first-round pick Shaq Lawson to their practice squad.

The Panthers have ruled out five players for the contest—tight end Tommy Tremble, centers Austin Corbett and Andrew Raym, right tackle Taylor Moton and inside linebacker Josey Jewell. Moton is set to miss the first game of his eight-year NFL career.

Here’s the full injury report from Friday:

Jadeveon Clowney among 7 Panthers held out of practice on Thursday

Panthers OLB Jadeveon Clowney did not participate for a second straight practice.

Thursday’s injury report doesn’t seem to be all that encouraging for the Carolina Panthers. In fact, it appears to be a bit worse.

After holding out six players from Wednesday’s session, the team has listed seven non-participants from this afternoon. Joining the group, which already includes a few starters on defense, is defensive lineman A’Shawn Robinson—who was limited with an ankle issue yesterday.

Perhaps the most concerning absence is that of outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney, who injured his shoulder in the Week 5 loss to the Chicago Bears. The Panthers are exceptionally thin off the edge and have amassed just six sacks over five games in 2024.

Here’s Thursday’s injury report in full:

Panthers hold out handful of starters from Wednesday’s practice

Panthers OLB Jadeveon Clowney was amongst the starters who did not participate in practice this afternoon.

The Carolina Panthers were a bit shorthanded to kick off Week 6.

Wednesday’s practice did not include a handful of the team’s starters. Tight end Tommy Tremble (concussion), right tackle Taylor Moton (elbow), outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (shoulder) and inside linebacker Josey Jewell (hamstring/groin) were all listed as non-participants.

Also out, as expected, was center Austin Corbett—who tore his biceps in the Week 5 loss to the Chicago Bears. Corbett will be placed on the season-ending injured reserve.

Here is the full injury report from the afternoon:

Panthers Week 5 inactives: Josey Jewell, 5 others out vs. Bears

As expected, the Panthers will be without starting ILB Josey Jewell against the Bears this afternoon.

The Carolina Panthers deemed six players as inactive for this afternoon’s matchup against the Chicago Bears, including starting inside linebacker Josey Jewell.

Jewell, who was already ruled out of the contest on Friday’s injury report, is currently dealing with hamstring and groin issues. Through four games, the 29-year-old veteran has amassed 30 combined (second-most on the team) with three passes defensed and a fumble recovery.

Carolina’s defense is also without fellow starting inside ‘backer Shaq Thompson, who was officially placed on injured reserve yesterday. The longtime Panther will miss the remainder of the 2024 campaign after tearing his Achilles tendon in the Week 4 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Rookie Trevin Wallace and veteran Claudin Cherelus are expected to start in place of Jewell and Thompson.

Head coach Dave Canales talked about the two earlier this week.

“Yeah, Claudin Cherelus is gonna have a great opportunity to play some football for us,” Canales said to reporters on Monday. “A guy that really took strides in camp, and a guy that we’re definitely looking forward to seeing out there to play football. For he and Trevin [Wallace] to start communicating and be able to work with the whole group.”

Here is the full list of inactives for the Panthers in Week 5:

  • RB Mike Boone
  • LB Josey Jewell
  • G Jarrett Kingston
  • DE Jayden Peevy
  • C Andrew Raym
  • S Russ Yeast

And here’s who is down for the Bears:

  • FB Khari Blasingame
  • WR Velus Jones Jr.
  • DL Zacch Pickens
  • DL Dominique Robinson
  • DB Terell Smith

Panthers Week 5 injury report: 3 players ruled out vs. Bears

The Panthers have ruled out three players ahead of Sunday’s visit to Chicago.

As expected, the Carolina Panthers have ruled out starting middle linebackers Shaq Thompson and Josey Jewell from their Week 5 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Thompson will miss the remainder of the campaign with a torn Achilles tendon while Jewell has been sidelined with hamstring and groin injuries.

2024 third-round pick and rookie ‘backer Trevin Wallace is in line to get his first career start in the middle of Carolina’s defense. Veterans Claudin Cherelus and Chandler Wooten, who was promoted to the active roster on Tuesday, should also help fill in for Thompson and Jewell.

In addition, head coach Dave Canales told reporters following today’s practice that all players who have been listed as questionable are likely to play.
