Panthers' D.J. Wonnum: Returning to action
Wonnum (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Wonnum was inactive for Week 4, but his absence will be limited to only one game. He's played a versatile role, primarily as a pass rusher and coverage linebacker through three games in the season. Across three games, Wonnum has totaled six tackles, two passes defensed, one interception and one quarterback hit.

Panthers' D.J. Wonnum: Questionable for Sunday
Wonnum (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.
The veteran edge rusher upgraded from limited practice Wednesday and Thursday to a full-go Friday, suggesting he's trending toward playing in Sunday's contest. Wonnum's return would be a huge addition to the Panthers' defense, as he recorded six total tackles and two passes defended, including one interception, over the team's first three games. If he's active in Week 5, he'll likely serve as Carolina's top edge rusher and start opposite Patrick Jones.

Panthers' D.J. Wonnum: Out for Week 4
Wonnum (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.
The 27-year-old was unable to practice all week after likely sustaining a hip injury in the Panthers' Week 3 win over the Falcons, so it's no surprise he'll be sidelined Sunday. Wonnum has played 134 defensive snaps over Carolina's first three games, recording six total tackles and one pick-six. With Patrick Jones (hamstring) and him sidelined in Week 4, the Panthers' top edge-rush duo is expected to be rookies Nic Scourton and Princely Umanmielen.

Panthers' D.J. Wonnum: Misses Thursday's practice
Wonnum didn't practice Thursday due to a hip injury.
Despite playing 48 defensive snaps and recording two total tackles during the Panthers' Week 3 win over the Falcons, the South Carolina product appears to have sustained a hip injury. Wonnum has now logged consecutive DNPs to begin Carolina's week of practice, making it unlikely that he suits up for the Week 4 matchup against the Patriots. However, if the 27-year-old upgrades to limited or full participation in Friday's session, he could play in Sunday's contest.

Panthers' D.J. Wonnum: Past back issue
Wonnum (back) finished Friday's 30-10 preseason loss against the Browns with one assisted tackle.
Wonnum worked with the first-team defense and ended up playing 11 snaps. The 2020 fourth-rounder was tending to a back injury during the offseason, but he appears past the issue given his ability to play Friday. Wonnum missed the first nine games of the 2024 regular season due to a lingering quadriceps injury but managed to finish with 37 tackles (18 solo), including 4.0 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble across eight games. The Panthers' preseason depth chart has Wonnum starting at outside linebacker alongside Patrick Jones, Trevin Wallace and Christian Rozeboom.

Panthers' D.J. Wonnum: Starting to practice again
Wonnum (back) participated in a limited capacity during minicamp Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Wonnum sat out Carolina's last two open workouts entirely, so Tuesday's action is a sign of progress in his recovery from a lingering back issue. There's no concrete timeline for his return to full activity, but once available he projects as a starter on the edge for the Panthers in 2025.

Panthers' D.J. Wonnum: Tending to back issue
Wonnum (back) did not participate at OTAs on Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Wonnum apparently had his back "flare up," but it's not clear what brought about the injury, or the severity of the issue. For now, Patrick Jones and rookie second-rounder Nic Scourton figure to see more first-team practice reps off the edge.
