Wonnum (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Wonnum played through a quadriceps issue in the Panthers' Week 12 loss to the Chiefs, recording five total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, across 51 defensive snaps. However, it now appears he picked up a hamstring injury in the process. Wonnum's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether the first-year Panther can suit up for the Week 13 matchup against the Buccaneers.

Wonnum (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Darin Gantt of Carolina's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wonnum first appeared on the injury report when he logged a limited practice Thursday, but he was able to go through a full session Friday and will play Sunday. The fifth-year defender missed the first nine weeks of the campaign due to a quad injury, and the Panthers were on their bye in Week 11, so Sunday will mark Wonnum's second game of the campaign. In his first, which took place in Week 10 against the Giants, he tallied six tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and forced a fumble while playing 66 percent of Carolina's defensive snaps.

EDGE Analysis

Wonnum made his season debut in Week 10 after spending the first nine weeks of the season recovering from a quad issue. He was limited in practice Thursday but was able to practice in full Friday and should be on the right side of the questionable tag against Kansas City. In his Week 10 debut, Wonnum logged six tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a forced fumble versus the Giants.

Wonnum recorded six tackles (four solo) including 1.0 sacks, and a forced fumble during Sunday's 20-17 overtime win against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Wonnum was not fooled by an attempted flea flicker in the middle of the second quarter, turning the corner on Jermaine Eluemunor to get to Daniel Jones on third down and force a punt. The forced fumble was his first since back in 2022. He'll be looking to build on Sunday's momentum after Carolina's bye in Week 11.

Wonnum (quadricep) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants in Munich, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

He'll be suiting up for the first time this season in what will be his Panthers debut after he joined the team this offseason on a two-year, $12.5 million contract. Considering that Wonnum wasn't a full participant in practice at any point this week and is making his return from December 2023 surgery on his left quad, the Panthers could monitor his workload closely Sunday. The edge rusher tied his career high with eight sacks and recorded 62 tackles, six pass breakups and one fumble recovery over his 15 games for Minnesota in 2023.

Carolina activated Wonnum (quadriceps) from the reserve/PUP list Saturday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wonnum was a full practice participant all week while in the final stages of his recovery from a procedure on his left quadriceps that he underwent in December of 2023. He's still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, but it appears the 2020 fourth-round pick will be able to suit up for that contest.

EDGE Analysis

Wonnum is looking to make his season debut after spending the first nine weeks of the 2024 campaign on the reserve/PUP list. He got in a week of full practices ahead of Sunday's contest in Germany but also practiced in full all last week before being ruled out against the Saints. The Panthers will need to make a decision on Wonnum by Saturday afternoon.

EDGE Analysis

Wonnum began the regular season on the reserve/PUP list while recovering from left quadriceps surgery that he underwent in December of 2023. Despite being a full practice participant all week, the 2020 fourth-round pick will not be activated ahead of Sunday's contest. Wonnum's next chance at making his regular-season debut will be against the Giants in Week 10.

EDGE Analysis

Despite Wonnum's questionable designation, head coach Dave Canales told reporters Friday that he doesn't expect the first-year Panther to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup, per Steve Reed of the Associated Press. Wonnum was able to practice in full all week but has still yet to be activated to Carolina's active roster after his 21-day practice window opened Oct. 23. If the 27-year-old can't return in Week 9, expect Charles Harris to start opposite Jadeveon Clowney as the Panthers' top edge rushers.

Wonnum (quadriceps) was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday's injury report.

EDGE Analysis

Wonnum opened the regular season on the Panthers' reserve/PUP while recovering from left quadriceps surgery that he underwent in December 2023. His 21-day practice window opened Oct. 23, and the 2020 fourth-round pick has logged consecutive full practices to open the week. If he's able to practice without limitations Friday, Wonnum has a chance of being activated off IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints. Across 15 regular-season games with the Vikings in 2023, Wonnum posted 62 tackles (33 solo), including 8.0 sacks, six pass breakups and a fumble recovery that he returned for a touchdown.
