Panthers' Derrick Brown: Practices in full
Brown (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
The veteran defensive lineman sustained a knee injury in the Panthers' Week 8 loss to the Bills, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. Brown is an integral part of Carolina's defense, recording 27 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and five passes defended over the team's first eight games. Now back at full health, he's expected to operate as one of the Panthers' top defensive linemen in the Week 9 matchup against the Packers.

Panthers' Derrick Brown: Not dealing with major injury
Brown (knee) doesn't believe that he is dealing with a significant injury, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Brown exited in the fourth quarter of Sunday's Week 8 matchup against Buffalo and didn't return. The veteran defensive end said after the loss that he is fine and that his knee "just locked up" on the artificial turf. Panthers coach Dave Canales also said that Brown should be fine, per Newton, but Brown's participation level during Week 9 practices should provide further clarity about his status moving forward.

Panthers' Derrick Brown: Exits with knee injury
Brown (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bills, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.
Brown went to the blue medical tent to be evaluated for a knee injury, but he may be held out the rest of the way given that the Bills hold a commanding lead in the fourth quarter. If he's unable to return, then LaBryan Ray and Bobby Brown would be in line for more snaps at defensive end.

Panthers' Derrick Brown: Does it all in Week 7
Brown recorded seven total tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks, and three passes defended in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets.
The 2020 first-round pick from Auburn was one of five Panthers to sack a Jets quarterback, taking down both Tyrod Taylor and Justin Fields during Sunday's win. After playing just one game in 2024 due to a knee injury, Brown has returned to his usual form to begin Carolina's 2025 campaign. He's been a large part of the team's defensive success, recording 26 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and five passes defended over the first seven games. Expect Brown to remain an integral part of the Panthers' defensive game plan in Week 8, when the Bills travel to Carolina.

Panthers' Derrick Brown: Nursing oblique soreness
Panthers coach Dave Canales said Thursday that Brown (oblique) is managing soreness, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Brown is working his way back from meniscus surgery that addressed a knee injury that limited him to just one appearance in 2024, and he declared himself 100 percent healthy to kick off training camp. As such, Carolina figures to take a cautious approach as the starting defensive end works his way back from his current oblique issue. Canales reiterated Tuesday that Brown's surgically repaired knee "feels great."

Brown (knee) should be ready to participate in drills during training camp on a limited basis, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Brown said in April that he'd be ready for the start of the regular season, per David Newton of ESPN.com. The defensive end only played in one game in 2024 due to a meniscus issue, but in 2023 he recorded 103 tackles (57 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and six pass breakups, including an interception.

Panthers' Derrick Brown: Expects to be ready for Week 1
Brown (knee) said Wednesday that he's participating in voluntary offseason workouts and expects to be ready for the start of the regular season, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Brown missed all but one game of the 2024 season due to a meniscus injury, though he suited up for all 17 games in back-to-back prior seasons, including a 2023 campaign in which he tallied a career-best 103 tackles (57 solo), including 2.0 sacks, six passes defensed and one interception. Getting the 2020 first-round pick back to full health will be crucial to the performance of Carolina's defensive front.
