Top Matt Paradis News

  • Matt Paradis: Cleared for football activities

    Paradis (knee) gained full medical clearance Wednesday from specialist Dr. Robert LaPrade, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Paradis is considered the top available center on the free agent market, so he should begin drawing interest from needy teams around the league now that he's gained a clean bill of health. He suffered a torn ACL in November 2021.

  • Panthers' Matt Paradis: Moves to IR

    Paradis (knee) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday and shifted to injured reserve, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Paradis moved to the COVID-19 list last week but is now clear of the league protocols. He's been on injured reserve since undergoing surgery to repair a torn ACL in mid-November.

  • Panthers' Matt Paradis: Moves to COVID list

    Paradis (knee) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

  • Panthers' Matt Paradis: Undergoes successful surgery

    Paradis successfully underwent ACL reconstruction surgery Thursday, and there's optimism over his availability for the 2022 season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Paradis will miss the remainder of this season after tearing his ACL, but he should be back to playing at some point next season. Pat Elflein should continue to start at center for the Panthers with Paradis sidelined.

    Paradis (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Paradis was diagnosed with a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season, as previously reported. The move to IR therefore comes as no surprise. Pat Elflein (hamstring) is expected back this week and will likely take over the starting center job.

  • Panthers' Matt Paradis: Out for season

    Paradis (knee) was diagnosed with a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Paradis' worst fears were confirmed after undergoing further tests, and the Panthers' starting center will miss the remainder of the campaign as a result. This is a big blow for the offensive line, as Paradis is a huge asset for them. Sam Tecklenburg is expected to take over at center, though Pat Elflein is also an option once he recovers from his hamstring injury.

    Paradis left Sunday's contest in the first quarter with a knee injury and will not return. Pat Elflein (hamstring) is inactive Sunday as well, so Sam Tecklenburg will have to take over at center for the remainder of the contest.

  • Panthers' Matt Paradis: Restructures contract

    Paradis agreed to terms with the Panthers on a restructured contract Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Paradis has agreed to convert roughly $7 million of his $8 million salary into a signing bonus, a move which creates $4.6 million in cap space for Carolina. The Panthers have a made a number of similar transactions to free up cap space, including the recent release of multiple veterans, perhaps preparing the team to better pursue hot commodities when free agency opens March.
