Lions' D.J. Wonnum: Links up with Lions
Detroit is signing Wonnum to a one-year contract worth up to $6 million, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Wonnum spent the past two seasons with Carolina following four campaigns with the Vikings. He started 37 of his 39 regular-season games over the past three seasons, recording 15.0 sacks and 10 defensed passes. Wonnum could compete for a starting job with Detroit, though such a role isn't guaranteed.

Panthers' D.J. Wonnum: Underwhelms in 2025
Wonnum recorded 42 total tackles (19 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and three passes defensed, including one interception, across 16 regular-season games in 2025.
Wonnum stayed healthy for nearly the whole season after appearing in just eight games during his first year in Carolina in 2024. During his time with the Panthers, he's struggled to get after the quarterback, recording just 7.0 sacks across 24 regular-season games. That production marks a notable drop-off from his 2023 campaign with the Vikings, when he tallied 8.0 sacks in 15 regular-season games. Now finishing the final season of a two-year, $12.5 million contract signed in March of 2024, Wonnum is set to hit unrestricted free agency following the Panthers' 2025 playoff campaign.

Panthers' D.J. Wonnum: Logs 2.0 sacks in Week 15 loss
Wonnum recorded four tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, in a loss to New Orleans on Sunday.
Wonnum led a strong effort by Carolina's defense, but the team's offense was able to put up just 17 points. Wonnum got into the sacks column for the first time this season after going 12 games without taking down the opposing QB. He posted 4.0 sacks in just eight contests last year.

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.
