Panthers agree to terms with DE Marquis Haynes Sr. on two-year extension

After losing Haason Reddick and DaQuan Jones to free agency Monday, the Panthers brought back rotational defensive end Marquis Haynes Sr. for two more years on a bargain deal.

As they lose notable starters to the open market, the Carolina Panthers are bringing back one of their rotational defensive linemen for a couple more years, agreeing to terms with defensive end Marquis Haynes Sr. on a two-year extension reportedly worth $5.5 million.

While Carolina couldn’t keep starters Haason Reddick or DaQuan Jones from moving elsewhere on the first day of the legal tampering period, the Panthers made sure to keep Haynes, 28, on the roster before he became an unrestricted free agent Wednesday afternoon.

In 2021, Haynes was as disruptive as he was efficient, racking up 20 tackles and three sacks on a 21% defensive snap count. His sack total was enough to land him third on the team in the category despite his minimal time on the field.

Since Carolina drafted Haynes in 2018, making big plays in little playing time has become his forte. The Mississippi product has developed into an effective rotational pass rusher in the NFL, and his snap count had been increasing quickly before the Panthers signed Reddick last season. With Reddick in Philly this season, defensive coordinator Phil Snow could expand Haynes’ role as a pass rusher.

For his part, Haynes seemed excited to stay in Carolina. He took to Twitter just minutes after the team announced the deal.

Panthers have ‘somewhat significant’ spread, place six on COVID-19 list

DE Brian Burns and LB Shaq Thompson are amongst the six Panthers who were sent to the reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday.

As if the organization hadn’t been dealing with enough already, Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule opened his presser on Monday afternoon with some unfortunate news.

“We’ve had a few positive tests this morning for COVID,” Rhule said off the top to reporters. “So to stop the spread of an outbreak—[Brandon] Zylstra yesterday, and Saturday and a couple today—we sent everybody home.”

Rhule went on to state that the team will proceed by conducting virtual meetings in hopes of a return on Wednesday. When asked of the total amount of positive tests, he then described the results as “somewhat significant.”

Turns out, “somewhat significant” means six, with almost all of which coming on the defensive side. Shortly after, the Panthers officially announced the placement of the following players on the reserve/COVID-19 list:

DE Brian Burns
LB Shaq Thompson
DE Marquis Haynes Sr.
DT Phil Hoskins
DE Daviyon Nixon
C Matt Paradis

Nixon and Paradis both have already had their seasons ended with a pair of knee injuries. As for Burns, Thompson, Haynes and Hoskins—if they are indeed vaccinated and asymptomatic—can return upon two negative tests with 24 hours in between. If they are not vaccinated, they will have to remain out for 10 days.

This now brings the total number of Panthers on the reserve/COVID-19 list to 13.

Panthers have perfect attendance record for Thursday’s Week 11 practice

The Panthers had all hands on deck for an entirely clean session of practice on Thursday.

When Cam Newton returned to the Carolina Panthers a week ago—he brought energy, excitement and hope. Apparently, he’s also brought some magical healing powers . . . or everyone’s just doing fine and dandy on their own.

Thursday’s injury report for Carolina ahead of their Week 11 matchup with the Washington Football Team came up the cleanest it possibly could. Every player who was available to practice, practiced—and did so in a full capacity.

Feast your eyes on the beauty:

Injury Wed. Thurs. Fri. Game status
DE Marquis Haynes Sr. Foot DNP Full
LB Frankie Luvu Shoulder Limited Full
CB Rashaan Melvin Hand Full Full
CB Stantley Thomas-Oliver III Toe Full Full

Each of the four men who were listed on the initial report, most notably Haynes Sr. and Luvu being as though they were held back on Wednesday, were all green lights this afternoon.

This, of course, is an extraordinary and unlikely scenario—especially for a team who’s yet to even have its bye week. But, as we’ve come to learn over the past seven days for the Panthers, we must expect the unexpected.

Panthers down just one player for Wednesday’s practice

DE Marquis Haynes was the only Panther not to participate in Wednesday’s practice.

We’ve said it a bunch of times over the past few days, and we’ll say it again—the return of Cam Newton has everyone within the Carolina Panthers organization feeling good. And that even extends, for the most part, on the literal physical aspect of things.

The Panthers just about had themselves a perfect attendance record for the first practice of the week ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Washington Football Team. Defensive Marquis Haynes Sr. was the only player held out of Wednesday’s practice due to a foot injury.

Here’s the initial report for Week 11:

Injury Wed. Thurs. Fri. Game status
DE Marquis Haynes Sr. Foot DNP
LB Frankie Luvu Shoulder Limited
CB Rashaan Melvin Hand Full
CB Stantley Thomas-Oliver III Toe Full

The full participations of Melvin and Thomas-Oliver III were, obviously, great signs after both missed the Week 10 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

In another encouraging bit, fellow corner Stephon Gilmore was not listed—due to his quad or his finger. Head coach Matt Rhule told reporters that they’ll “keep bumping him up” as he continues to ease himself in.
