Panthers' Lathan Ransom: Productive during rookie campaign
Ransom posted 51 tackles (21 solo), including 1.0 sacks, an interception, two passes defended and a forced fumble across 16 regular-season games during the 2025 campaign.
Ransom was productive during his rookie campaign, racking up over 50 total tackles while seeing playing time on both defense and special teams. With Tre'von Moehrig under contract with the Panthers for two more years, Ransom will likely continue to serve as a backup safety during the 2026 campaign.

Panthers' Lathan Ransom: Recovered from thumb injury
Ransom (thumb) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.
Ransom suffered a thumb injury in Carolina's surprising win over the Rams on Nov. 30, but he seems to have recovered during the Panthers' Week 14 bye. With Tre'von Moehrig available after having returned from a one-game suspension, Ransom will likely be relegated to a backup role Sunday against the Saints.

Panthers' Lathan Ransom: Dealing with thumb injury
Head coach Dave Canales told reporters Monday that Ransom sustained a thumb injury in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Rams, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
With Tre'von Moehrig suspended for the Week 13 contest, Ransom drew the start and performed phenomenally, recording 11 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks. However, it now appears he's sustained a thumb injury in the process, and the Panthers are still looking into various treatment options and timelines. Carolina has a Week 14 bye, which may give the rookie safety enough time to recover ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Saints.

Panthers' Lathan Ransom: Likely moving into starting role
Ransom is expected to start at safety in place of Tre'von Moehrig (suspension) against the Rams on Sunday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Ransom underwent a procedure on his hand earlier this month, but he seems to be back to full health now. The rookie has recently played about one-third of Carolina's defensive snaps, but he'll likely take on a much larger role Sunday. Moehrig's suspension is for just one game, so Ransom's time as a starter could be short-lived.

Panthers' Lathan Ransom: Trending up for Week 12
Ransom (hand) was a full participant in practice Thursday.
Ransom underwent a hand procedure on Wednesday of Week 11 prep and didn't practice at all during the week. He consequently missed Sunday's win over Atlanta, but his ability to practice in full Thursday suggests he'll be able to return to action Monday against San Francisco. Ransom has been a rotational defensive back during his rookie campaign while also working as a core special-teamer.

Ransom (hand) did not practice Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Per Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer, Ransom underwent a hand procedure and is considered day-to-day. It's unclear if he has a chance to suit up for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta, and he'll likely need to turn in some level of practice participation in the next two days.

Ransom has served as one of Carolina's top reserve safeties in his first nine NFL games, recording 26 total tackles and one forced fumble over 294 total snaps (179 on defense, 115 on special teams).
