Panthers' Derrick Brown: Logs full practice Wednesday
Brown (knee) was not listed on the Panthers' injury report Wednesday.
Brown was limited by a knee injury during training camp, but the 2020 first-rounder practiced Wednesday without limitations and should be available for Week 1 against the Bears on Sunday. The Auburn product put together a solid statline last year, finishing with 73 tackles (33 solo), including a career-high 5.0 sacks, seven pass defenses and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season games.

Panthers' Derrick Brown: Not playing Saturday
Brown (knee) will not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Bills, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.
Brown's knee soreness has become a persistent issue. The Panthers will likely give the defensive end as much time as he needs, as the team cannot afford to lose another starting defensive lineman. Nic Scourton's (knee) season-ending injury still looms over the unit, so any additional injuries will be a big dent to the team's depth.

Panthers' Derrick Brown: Dealing with knee soreness
Brown (knee) was a limited participant in Sunday's practice, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Brown is dealing with persistent knee soreness but has been able to practice through the pain. The defensive end will need to recover before the regular season, with the season-ending blow to Nic Scourton (knee) already weakening the Panthers' defensive line.

Panthers' Derrick Brown: Returns to form in 2025
Brown recorded five total tackles (four solo) during Saturday's 34-31 wild-card loss to the Rams.
After missing 16 games last season due to a knee injury, Brown returned as one of the NFL's top interior defensive linemen in 2025. He played all 17 regular-season games and recorded 73 total tackles, the second most among interior defensive linemen, while facing double teams on 64.4 percent of his snaps. Additionally, the Auburn product tallied seven passes defensed, 5.0 sacks and one forced fumble while logging 808 defensive snaps during the regular season. Under contract through the 2028 season, Brown is expected to remain one of the NFL's top defenders in 2026.

Panthers' Derrick Brown: Career-high 13 stops in Week 18
Brown finished Saturday's 16-14 loss to the Buccaneers with 13 tackles (five solo).
Not only were Brown's 13 stops a career high, they were also the most among defensive linemen in a single game this season, per Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer. The sixth-year pro will end the 2025 regular season with 73 tackles (33 solo), including a career-high 5.0 sacks, seven pass defenses and one forced fumble across 17 games. It was an impressive bounce-back season for Brown, who missed all but one regular-season game in 2024 after suffering a meniscus injury in his knee in September of 2024. The Panthers' loss Saturday means they are relying on a Falcons win over the Saints on Sunday to clinch the NFC South division title and the No. 4 seed in the conference playoffs.
