Panthers' Chandler Zavala: Full session in return to practice
Zavala (knee) logged a full practice Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Zavala has missed Carolina's last four games with a knee injury and this marked his first practice since suffering the injury. Per coach Dave Canales, Zavala looked good with his running and cutting. He'll need to be activated from injured reserve by Saturday to be active for Week 9 against the Packers, but Zavala appears to be closing in on retaking his starting role at right guard.

Panthers' Chandler Zavala: Practice window opens
Zavala (knee) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.
Zavala's return to practice Wednesday comes as no surprise, as Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reported Monday that he would be designated to return from IR at some point this week. The Panthers now have 21 days to add him to the active roster before reverting to IR, and he's expected to start at right guard once fully healthy.

Panthers' Chandler Zavala: Nearing return
Zavala (IR,knee) will have his 21-day practice window opened later this week, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.
The third-year pro from NC State has missed the Panthers' last four games after sustaining a knee injury in the Week 4 loss to the Patriots. Once his practice window opens, Carolina will have 21 days to add him to the active roster before reverting to IR. Zavala will likely assume the Panthers' top right-guard duties once fully healthy.

Panthers' Chandler Zavala: Moves to IR
Zavala (knee) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
The 2023 fourth-round pick from NC State had been serving as the Panthers' top right guard while Robert Hunt (biceps) was sidelined, but he'll now be forced to miss at least the team's next four contests. Brady Christensen is likely the next man up at right guard while both Zavala and Hunt are on IR.

Panthers' Chandler Zavala: Won't return versus Pats
Zavala (knee) was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game versus New England, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Panthers' Chandler Zavala: Exits game with knee injury
Zavala is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots due to a knee injury, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Zavala appeared to suffer the injury in the first quarter. He was able to walk off the field under his own power and is having his knee injury evaluated by medical staff. Brandon Walton -- whom the Panthers elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday -- has taken over at right guard in Zavala's absence.

Panthers' Chandler Zavala: Gets back on field
Zavala (knee) played 22 offensive snaps during Carolina's 19-10 preseason loss to the Steelers on Thursday, Kassidy Hill and Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site report.
Zavala missed much of training camp due to a knee injury, but he's managed to meet the goal that coach Dave Canales had previously set of returning in time for Carolina's preseason finale. The 2023 fourth-round pick is set to handle a backup role at guard this season, and he could be tasked with stepping up immediately if Damien Lewis (guard) is less than 100 percent for Week 1.

Panthers' Chandler Zavala: Aiming for late-August return
Panthers head coach Dave Canales relayed Monday that the team hopes Zavala (knee) can be back in time for the preseason matchup against Pittsburgh on Thursday, Aug. 21, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Zavala hurt his knee in late July and wasn't able to play in Carolina's first preseason contest this past Friday. It sounds like he'll miss this Saturday's contest against Houston as well, though the NC State product could be back for the team's third's preseason game. Zavala is slated to function in a rotational role at guard this season.

Panthers' Chandler Zavala: Dealing with knee injury
Head coach Dave Canales told reporters Tuesday that Zavala is considered "week-to-week" with a patella injury that he suffered during Monday's training camp practice, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
The injury puts Zavala in jeopardy of missing the Panthers' preseason opener against the Browns on Aug. 8. The 2023 fourth-rounder started in two games in 2024 and is expected to be Carolina's top backup offensive guard. Zavala's absence opens the door for Ja'Tyre Carter and Jarrett Kingston to get more reps at guard during practice and preseason games.

Panthers' Chandler Zavala: Returns Tuesday
Zavala (hamstring) was spotted participating in Tuesday's practice, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Zavala has been dealing with a hamstring issue initially believed to be a long-term concern, but he returned to the field just five days after sustaining the injury. Now that Zavala has returned to full health, he's expected to serve as Carolina's top backup offensive guard in 2024.

Panthers' Chandler Zavala: Could miss extended time
Zavala is dealing with a hamstring injury that may not be short-term, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Zavala ended last season on injured reserve due to a knee injury but recovered during the offseason and suited up for the Panthers' preseason opener last Thursday versus New England. However, he's now dealing with a hamstring issue that head coach Dave Canales said "could be a longer deal." Zavala is expected to fill a reserve role at guard if he's healthy enough to suit up when the regular season kicks off.

Panthers' Chandler Zavala: Appears in entire game
Zavala played every snap of Carolina's preseason defeat to New England on Thursday, Kassidy Hill and Darin Gantt of the team's official site report.
Zavala is now back and fully healthy after a knee injury kept him on IR during a bulk of the 2023 season. The 6-foot-5 offensive guard is currently sitting at the second-string left guard spot behind Damien Lewis but could see elevated opportunities if he continues to play well during the preseason.
