Buccaneers' Christian Rozeboom: Lands in Tampa Bay
Rotowire
Rozeboom agreed to terms on a contract with the Buccaneers on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Rozeboom logged 15 regular-season appearances with the Panthers in 2025, totaling 122 total tackles (59 solo), including 2.0 sacks, three passes defensed, including one interception, and one forced fumble. The 29-year-old now looks set to slide into a starting role at inside linebacker alongside fellow free-agent signee Alex Anzalone, presumably relegating 2025 breakout SirVocea Dennis to a reserve gig.

Panthers' Christian Rozeboom: Solid season in Carolina
Rotowire
Rozeboom tallied 122 total tackles (59 solo), including 2.0 sacks, three passes defensed, including one interception, and one forced fumble across 15 regular-season in 2025.
The South Dakota State product recorded triple-digit stops for the second consecutive season while leading Carolina in total tackles. Rozeboom also set new career highs in sacks (2.0) and forced fumbles (one), starting all 15 regular-season games he appeared in for the Panthers. The 28-year-old signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with Carolina last offseason and is slated to become an unrestricted free agent following the team's playoff campaign. Given his production, Rozeboom should draw interest from teams in need of inside linebacker help this offseason.

Panthers' Christian Rozeboom: Misses practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Rozeboom (hip/hamstring) was a non-participant at practice Wednesday.
Rozeboom was forced to miss the team's Week 12 loss to the 49ers due to a hip injury, and he's yet to return to practice since suffering the injury in Week 11. The linebacker will have two more chances to practice before Sunday's matchup with the Rams.

Panthers' Christian Rozeboom: Likely to sit Week 12
Rotowire
Rozeboom (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday and head coach Dave Canales said the team is preparing to play without the linebacker Monday against the 49ers, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Rozeboom hasn't explicitly been ruled out, but the hamstring injury he suffered in the Panthers' Week 11 overtime win over the Falcons will likely keep him out of action in Week 12. He will have two more opportunities to return to practice Friday and Saturday.

Panthers' Christian Rozeboom: Dealing with hamstring injury
Rotowire
Rozeboom suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday's overtime win over the Falcons and is uncertain for next Monday night's game against the 49ers, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Rozeboom played his normal allotment of snaps against Atlanta, logging 10 tackles (two solo) on 82 percent of the defensive plays against the Falcons. If Rozeboom is unable to play Monday night, Claudin Cherelus and Bam Martin-Scott would be candidates to see increased action at linebacker for Carolina.

Panthers' Christian Rozeboom: Season-high tackles in Week 8 loss
Rotowire
Rozeboom racked up 12 tackles (seven solo) and one pass defensed during Carolina's loss to the Bills on Sunday.
Rozeboom played 92 percent of defensive snaps during Sunday's loss to Buffalo, his first time above the 85-percent threshold since Week 4. The veteran linebacker has only tallied less than five tackles once across eight regular-season appearances so far, providing him a solid fantasy floor in IDP formats. Next on deck for the Panthers is a road matchup against Green Bay in Week 9.

Rozeboom led Carolina in tackles during Sunday's victory. The 28-year-old has now racked up 43 tackles (23 solo) across his first six appearances of the season. He will look to build on this solid performance and keep producing in the Week 7 matchup versus the Jets.

Panthers' Christian Rozeboom: Notches eight stops Week 1
Rotowire
Rozeboom registered eight tackles (seven solo) Sunday in a loss to the Jaguars.
Rozeboom's eight stops were good for second on Carolina. That output was in line with his production last season, when he averaged 7.9 tackles over 17 regular-season games with the Rams. Rozeboom finished last year with a career-best 135 stops, then signed a one-year deal with the Panthers in mid-March.

Rams' Christian Rozeboom: Leads team in tackles
Rotowire
Rozeboom recorded eight tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 44-42 victory against the Bills.
Outside of Rozeboom and Darius Williams, no Ram recorded more than four tackles. It was a fairly miserable overall performance for the Rams' defense, as Josh Allen rang up six total touchdowns and the Rams failed to record a sack or a turnover. An injury-riddled San Francisco offense is a much more tantalizing prospect for Rozeboom and the Rams' defense in Week 15.

Rotowire
Rozeboom recorded 12 tackles (seven solo), including a tackle for loss, during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Eagles.
While a dreadful day overall for the Rams defense, it was a banner day for the veteran linebacker, who notched his third start with double-digit tackles out of his last four, and fifth on the season. The continued volume of tackles should keep Rozeboom on the IDP radar as the Rams travel to New Orleans in Week 13.
