Wormley signed with the Panthers' practice squad Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wormley has managed to work his way back from a torn ACL injury he suffered in Week 13 last season when playing for the Steelers. The 29-year-old could see some time on the active roster this season as a veteran backup for a Panthers' defensive front that lacks depth experience between Nick Thurman and LaBryan Ray.

Wormley (knee) suffered a torn ACL and was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wormley sustained a significant knee injury in the Steelers' Week 14 loss to the Ravens, which has now been confirmed to have been a torn ACL according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The defensive end will now shift his focus to rehabbing the injury and look to be ready for the 2023 campaign. Jonathan Marshall was signed to the 53-man roster Wednesday to replace Wormley on the defensive line.

Wormley will need season-ending surgery to repair a knee injury suffered in Sunday's win over the Ravens, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wormley's exact injury is still unknown, but it's clear whatever it was is significant enough to end his season. His absence for the remainder of the 2022 campaign is certainly a blow the Steelers' depth on the defensive line moving forward. He'll now focus on being healthy for next year, while Isaiahh Loudermilk and DeMarvin Leal will likely play increased roles in the finals weeks of the season.

Wormley (groin) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday after testing positive for the virus.
EDGE Analysis
Wormley, who is dealing with a groin injury, now has another hurdle clear in order to be available for Monday's game against the Browns. He's totaled 20 tackles (13 solo) and 4.5 sacks across his last five appearances, so his potential absence would be a big blow to Pittsburgh's defense.

Wormley (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After sustaining the injury in last week's win over the Titans, Wormley wasn't able to practice in any capacity Wednesday through Friday. The Steelers will likely turn to Isaiahh Loudermilk and Carl Davis to pick up reps at the defensive end spot opposite Cameron Heyward.

Wormley suffered a groin injury Sunday against the Titans, according to Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed Wormley's injury in his postgame presser, which means Wormley should be questionable for next Sunday's road matchup against Kansas City. If Wormley can't recover, Carlos Davis would be in line to see additional work.
