Panthers' LaBryan Ray: Ready for season debut
Ray (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Ray began the season on injured reserve due to an ankle injury, but he was activated ahead of Sunday's game. He'll likely have a limited role along Carolina's defensive line to begin his season.

Panthers' LaBryan Ray: Activated from IR
The Panthers activated Ray (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday.
Despite being activated, Ray is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, but this at least gives him a chance to make his 2025 season debut this week. Ray appeared in 33 regular-season games over the previous two seasons, recording 60 tackles (22 solo), including 1.0 sacks.

Panthers' LaBryan Ray: Could return in Week 5
Ray (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.
The Alabama product was a full participant in practice throughout the week but must still be activated to the Panthers' active roster in order to play in Sunday's contest. If Ray suits up for Carolina in Week 5, he'll likely serve as one of the team's top reserve edge rushers.

Panthers' LaBryan Ray: Practices in full Wednesday
Ray (ankle) would have been a full participant in Wednesday's practice, but the Panthers opted for a walkthrough instead of a full practice.
Ray remains on injured reserve but was designated for return Wednesday, opening his 21-day practice window. Ray appeared in 16 regular-season games last season, making nine starts, and recorded 41 tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sacks, as a rotational defensive lineman.

Panthers' LaBryan Ray: Practice window opens
Ray (ankle) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
The Alabama product was placed on injured reserve in late August due to an ankle injury and has missed Carolina's first four games this season. He now must be added to the Panthers' active roster over the next 21 days, or he will revert to IR. Ray is likely to serve as a depth option on Carolina's defensive line once healthy, playing behind Derrick Brown and A'Shawn Robinson.

Panthers' LaBryan Ray: Out at least one month
The Panthers placed Ray (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday, which rules him out for at least the first four games of the regular season, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Ray will spend a minimum of four games on IR as he works to recover from a mild high-ankle sprain suffered in mid-August. Once fully healthy, Ray is expected to contribute as a rotational defensive lineman for Carolina. He recorded 41 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, across 16 regular-season games with the team in 2024.

Panthers' LaBryan Ray: Week-to-week with ankle injury
Ray is considered week-to-week due to an ankle issue, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Per Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer, Ray is dealing with a mild high-ankle sprain. While the defensive end is unlikely to suit up for Saturday's second preseason contest against Houston, the Panthers hope he can return in time to face the Steelers on Thursday, Aug. 21. Ray is on the roster bubble, so it will be imperative for him to heal up as soon as possible so that he can make his case for a spot on the team.

Panthers' LaBryan Ray: Returns to Carolina
Ray signed his exclusive rights free-agent tender with the Panthers on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The 27-year-old defensive end from Alabama will remain in Carolina after spending the first two seasons of his career with the Panthers. With Derrick Brown (knee) sidelined for the majority of 2024, Ray played a career-high 591 defensive snaps, recording 41 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, across 16 regular-season games. Now that he's inked a deal to remain a Panther, Ray is expected to compete for a depth role on the defensive line as the summer unfolds.

Panthers' LaBryan Ray: Thrust into starting role in 2024
Ray recorded 41 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, over 16 games in 2024.
Ray saw increased opportunities with the Panthers' first-team defense following Derrick Brown's (knee) season-ending injury in the Week 1 loss to the Saints, starting nine of the Panthers remaining 16 regular-season games. He played at least 40 percent of Carolina's defensive snaps in all of his appearances this season, setting a career high in total tackles and also logging the first sack of his young career. Ray is an exclusive-rights free agent this offseason, meaning he cannot negotiate with other teams if the Panthers extend a qualifying offer. If the 27-year-old returns to Carolina in 2025, he's likely to revert to a reserve role behind Brown.

Panthers' LaBryan Ray: Dealing with injuries
Ray (ankle/knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Ray played 36 total snaps (31 defensive and five on special teams) and failed to record a stat in the Panthers' Week 6 loss to the Falcons, but it appears he picked up a pair of injuries in the process. The Alabama product's participation Thursday and Friday will be the best indication on whether he can play in Sunday's matchup against the Commanders.

Ray (undisclosed) was placed on the Patriots' practice squad injured reserve list Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Ray has yet to make his NFL debut, and it appears he'll have to wait a bit longer. By moving the rookie to the practice squad injured reserve list, it will open up another spot on the team's 16-man practice squad.
