Hunt (biceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Hunt is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn biceps that he suffered in Week 2 against the Cardinals. He was limited in his first practice since September, and he would likely have to log consecutive limited practices before being cleared to return. Sunday's game against the Seahawks may be too soon for him to return, so Week 18 against the Buccaneers would be his next chance to play if he's ruled out for Week 17.

Carolina designated Hunt (biceps) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunt can now practice for the first time since he tore his biceps Week 2 against Arizona. The veteran offensive guard is technically eligible to be activated any time and could return to game action as soon as Sunday against Seattle, though that's unlikely to happen since coach Dave Canales has said that Hunt will need some time to ramp back up following his long absence, per Gantt. If Hunt is able to play again this season, it would be a big boost to the Panthers' offensive line considering that he's coming off a Pro Bowl 2024 campaign.

Head coach Dave Canales said Monday that the Panthers won't open Hunt's (biceps) 21-day practice window this week, but there is optimism that the sixth-year offensive lineman will return before the end of the 2025 season, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunt was placed on injured reserve in mid-September after he tore his biceps during the Panthers' Week 2 loss to the Cardinals. He hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to be cleared to practice, but there's a chance that the 2020 second-rounder could be activated off injured reserve before the end of the season. Jake Curhan will remain as Carolina's starting right guard for this Sunday's NFC South tilt against the Saints.

Head coach Dave Canales told reporters Monday that Hunt could miss the rest of the season after undergoing successful surgery to repair a torn biceps, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old guard was expected to miss at least four games after being placed on injured reserve following the Panthers' Week 2 loss to the Cardinals. However, Canales comments Monday suggest Hunt could be sidelined for the remainder of Carolina's 2025 campaign. Expect Chandler Zavala to continue starting as the Panthers' top right guard while Hunt remains out.

The Panthers placed Hunt (biceps) on injured reserve Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
A stint on injured reserve requires a player to miss at least the next four games, but Hunt will likely be out longer due to a torn biceps that he suffered during Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. Chandler Zavala is expected to start at right guard for as long as Hunt is out of action.

Hunt was placed on injured reserve Monday after tearing his biceps in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Cardinals, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunt will have surgery to repair the torn biceps, meaning he will be sidelined for the foreseeable future. The second-year Panther is coming off his best season as a pro, receiving his first Pro Bowl selection in 2024. Chandler Zavala is next in line to start at right guard for the Panthers in a Week 3 matchup against the Falcons.

Hunt suffered a biceps injury in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Cardinals, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunt exited the game in the fourth quarter with what is now understood to be a biceps injury. It's unclear what the severity of the injury is, but his status at practice will be worth monitoring ahead of Carolina's matchup with the Falcons in Week 3.

Hunt (foot) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
Despite practicing in a limited fashion throughout the week, Hunt will suit up and serve as Carolina's top right guard Sunday. The 29-year-old has missed only one contest since joining the Panthers in 2024 and will look to build on his first Pro Bowl campaign as he heads into the 2025 season.

Hunt (foot) was a limited participant at the Panthers' practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hunt popped up on the team's first injury report of the week with a foot injury, placing some doubt on his chances to play in Week 1. The offensive lineman will have two more chances to log a full practice prior to Sunday's regular-season opener against Jacksonville.

Hunt (knee) participated in the dodgeball and tug-of-war events at the 2025 Pro Bowl Games, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunt missed the final game of the 2024 regular season due to a knee injury, but he was able to progress enough in his recovery to take part in the Pro Bowl Games as an alternate selection. He signed a five-year, $100 million contract with the Panthers in March 2024 after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Dolphins, and he started in all 16 games he played in during the 2024 regular season.
