Jewell (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

Jewell was DNP all week long and will miss a second straight contest due to the concussion. Jewell's 2024 ends with 97 tackles (51 solo), including seven TFLs and 3.5 sacks, seven pass breakups, including one interception, and a pair of fumble recoveries across 12 appearances. Chandler Wooten should once again fill in at linebacker for Week 18 against Atlanta.

Jewell (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jewell is no longer listed as having a quadriceps injury, as he was last week, but the linebacker continues to be in concussion protocol and still isn't practicing. The 30-year-old missed this past Sunday's Week 17 game against Tampa Bay and isn't certain to be able to return for the Panthers' season finale Sunday against Atlanta. Chandler Wooten stepped into a starting role last week in Jewell's stead.

Jewell (concussion/quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bucs.

EDGE Analysis

Carolina is dipping deep into its reserves for help at linebacker this late into the season. With Jewell out for Week 17 and now seemingly in the concussion protocol, he joins Trevin Wallace (shoulder, IR), Shaq Thompson (Achilles, IR) and Claudin Cherelus (toe, IR) on the sidelines. The Panthers are down to Jacoby Windmon, Jon Rhattigan and Chandler Wooten as their healthy linebackers ahead of a date with Bucky Irving.

Jewell (neck/head/quadriceps) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Jewell was able to participate in Tuesday's half-speed practice, but he was held out of Thursday's session due to a trio of injuries. If he's unable to return to practice Friday, he would likely be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. With Trevin Wallace (shoulder) on injured reserve, Jon Rhattigan and Chandler Wooten would be the top candidates to start at inside linebacker alongside Jacoby Windmon if Jewell is unable to play.

Jewell recorded six tackles (three solo) and defensed a pass in Sunday's 36-30 Week 16 overtime win over Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Jewell finished tied for third on Carolina in tackles in the victory. Coming into Sunday, he had recorded exactly 10 stops in three straight games. Jewell is on the verge of his third straight campaign with 100-plus tackles -- with two games remaining on the schedule, he has 97 stops (including 3.5 sacks).

Jewell (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Jewell has been nursing a hamstring injury throughout December that held him out of practice Wednesday, but he logged a full session Friday, indicating the issue won't hinder him enough to be sidelined in Week 16. The Iowa product has recorded 10 total tackles in each of his last three contests and is expected to serve as one of the Panthers' defensive leaders in Sunday's game.

Jewell (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Jewell has played through a hamstring injury through most of December, but that hasn't caused a dip in his production as he's logged 10 total tackles in each of his last three games. Unless he downgrades to a DNP on Friday's injury report, Jewell is expected to play against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Jewell recorded 10 tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 30-14 loss versus the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

Jewell racked up 10 tackles for his third straight game in a contest where Dallas ran the football 40 times. He's nine tackles away from his third consecutive 100-tackle season going into Week 16 versus the Cardinals.

Jewell (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jewell will once again play through a hamstring injury despite being listed as questionable. Since Carolina's Week 11 bye, Jewell has recorded 29 tackles (17 solo) and 3.5 sacks in three games.

Jewell (hamstring) practiced in full Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jewell managed to play through his hamstring injury Week 14 versus Philadelphia and handle 100 percent of the Panthers' defensive snaps, which bodes well for his chances of gaining clearance versus Dallas. Official clarity on Jewell's status will arrive no later than 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
