Renfrow caught 15 of 26 targets for 89 yards and two touchdowns across six regular-season games in 2025.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old wideout joined the Panthers on a one-year deal in late August after taking a break from football in 2024. Renfrow appeared poised to play a significant role early in the season, catching nine of 15 targets for 59 yards and two touchdowns over Carolina's first two games. However, he became a healthy scratch for each game following the Week 6 win over the Cowboys, as Jalen Coker returned from injury and rookie Jimmy Horn emerged as a key depth option. Renfrow was dropped by the Panthers in early January and will not be a part of the team's playoff campaign. If he finds work elsewhere for the 2026 NFL season, he'll likely remain in a reserve role.

The Panthers waived Renfrow on Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

After sitting out the 2024 season, Renfrow joined the Panthers on a one-year deal during the offseason and was able to secure a spot on the roster coming out of the preseason. The veteran slot receiver saw plenty of involvement early in the season with a 15-89-2 receiving line on 26 targets through the Panthers' first six games, but he was a healthy inactive from Week 7 onward after Carolina got Jalen Coker back from injured reserve. Renfrow will now lose his spot on the roster in advance of the Panthers' wild-card game Saturday versus the Rams with Carolina opting to activate wideout David Moore (elbow) from IR in a corresponding move.

EDGE Analysis

Renfrow continues his streak of healthy scratches. The Panthers will roll out Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker, Xavier Legette, Jimmy Horn and Brycen Tremayne for the Week 18 divisional matchup, leaving Renfrow as the odd man out once again.

EDGE Analysis

Renfrow has not appeared in a regular-season games since Week 6 against the Cowboys, with his absence coinciding with the return of Jalen Coker from injured reserve. Renfrow's next chance to play is Week 18 against the Buccaneers, though he's unlikely to be active for that contest unless the Panthers suffer an injury in their wide receiver corps.

Renfrow (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

EDGE Analysis

Renfrow will be a healthy scratch yet again, a designation he has held since Week 7. It seems that the only chance the wide receiver might have to suit up this season will be if the Panthers' receiving depth is weakened by injuries.

EDGE Analysis

Renfrow will be a healthy inactive once again Sunday, and he has not played since Week 6 against the Cowboys. Renfrow's next chance to play is Week 16 against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Dec. 21, though he's unlikely to play in that game unless the Panthers require an extra wide receiver.

EDGE Analysis

Renfrow appears to be the odd man out in Carolina's WR room, as he's now been a healthy scratch seven straight weeks. The rest of the Panthers' wideout corps is healthy (aside from David Moore [elbow], who is on IR), so Renfrow may continue to sit on game days unless an injury occurs to a player further up the pecking order.

EDGE Analysis

Renfrow will once again be healthy scratch in Week 12, marking the sixth consecutive contest that that's been the case. The wide receiver appears to be more valuable from a leadership perspective with Carolina than he is for on the field production in 2025.

EDGE Analysis

This marks the fifth straight week that Renfrow is inactive as a healthy scratch. While the veteran wideout has had a few nice moments when active this season, it's clear that Carolina is prioritizing developing its young wideouts even as the team has an outside chance at claiming a playoff spot.

EDGE Analysis
