Panthers' D.J. Wonnum: Promising 2024 campaign
Wonnum recorded 37 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, defended one pass and forced one fumble across eight games in 2024.
Wonnum signed a two-year, $12.5 million deal with the Panthers last offseason after tying his career-best sack total (8.0) with the Vikings in 2023. However, the 27-year-old missed Carolina's first nine games this season due to a lingering quadriceps injury sustained during his last season in Minnesota. Despite the limited playing time, Wonnum finished third on the Panthers' defense in sacks, tallying 26 pressures in just eight games. The South Carolina product showed flashes of brilliance throughout his appearances and is expected to serve as Carolina's top edge rusher in 2025, looking to help bolster a defense that tied for the second-fewest sacks (32.0) in the NFL this season.

Panthers' D.J. Wonnum: Good to go against Atlanta
Wonnum (knee/rest) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Wonnum opened the week as a DNP in order to get some additional rest due to a lingering knee issue. He ramped up his practice participation over the next two days, culminating in a full session Friday. Wonnum has logged 32 tackles (17 solo), including 4.0 sacks, one pass defense and fumble recovery across seven regular-season games.

Panthers' D.J. Wonnum: Returns to practice Thursday
Wonnum (knee/rest) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Wonnum was able to play through a shoulder issue during the Panthers' Week 17 loss to the Buccaneers and finished with five tackles (two solo) while playing 55 snaps (47 on defense, eight on special teams). The 2020 fourth-rounder didn't practice Wednesday due to rest and a knee issue, but his limited participation Thursday indicates that he is trending towards being available for Sunday's regular-season finale against Atlanta. In the six games since the Panthers' Week 11 bye, Wonnum has registered 26 tackles (13 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and one pass defense.

Panthers' D.J. Wonnum: Questionable to face Tampa Bay
Wonnum (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucs.
After logging a full practice Wednesday, Wonnum was limited Thursday and Friday. He missed the first nine games of the season and has been dealing with injuries much of the year. Wonnum has played in each of the last six contests, logging 27 tackles (15 solo), including 4.0 sacks, and one forced fumble as the team's top edge rusher.

Panthers' D.J. Wonnum: Nursing shoulder injury
Wonnum (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Wonnum has been playing through knee and hamstring injuries over the past few weeks. He was a full participant in Tuesday's half-speed practice, but he was limited in Thursday's session due to a shoulder injury. Wonnum would avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's NFC South clash against the Buccaneers if he were to practice fully Friday. Wonnum has logged 21 tackles (11 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and one pass defense in the five games since the Panthers' Week 11 bye.

Panthers' D.J. Wonnum: Limited Wednesday
Wonnum (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Wonnum played through his knee injury and served as one of the Panthers' top defensive playmakers in Sunday's loss to the Eagles, recording five total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, over 42 defensive snaps. It's likely that Wednesday's limited practice session is precautionary, but Wonnum's participation Thursday and Friday will be the best indication of whether he can suit up in Week 15, when the Panthers host the Cowboys.
