Woods registered eight tackles (six solo) and recovered a fumble in Sunday's 15-13 win over the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Woods missed the last three games with a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 3. He was able to take advantage of the team's Week 7 bye and suited up for Sunday's contest. His fumble recovery came at the beginning of the third quarter which put the Panthers in Texans' territory and led to a Eddy Pineiro field goal. Woods' return in Week 8 was a welcome one for the Panthers' secondary who was without strong safety Vonn Bell (quadriceps) for the second straight game.

Woods (hamstring) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Woods missed three straight games before Carolina's Week 7 bye, but he'll return to action versus Houston. Given his lengthy absence, Woods may be limited, but the Panthers' secondary is already shorthanded, so they'll presumably take as many snaps from Woods as possible.

Woods (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Houston, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite the official questionable tag, Woods said Friday that things were "pointing up" for him playing in Week 8. If he can go, he figures to step back into a starting role at safety Sunday.

Woods (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Woods has missed Carolina's last three games, but with the benefit of a Week 7 bye, he was able to suit up for practice to begin the new week. If he's able to get in a full practice Thursday or Friday, he could go into the weekend without an injury designation.

Woods (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday's game at the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

Woods will sit out a third consecutive game as he recovers from a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 3 at Seattle. With Vonn Bell (quadriceps) also listed as out, Sam Franklin and rookie fifth-rounder Jammie Robinson will likely be heavily involved in Carolina's defensive backfield in Week 6.

Woods (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at the Lions, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After he missed practice throughout the week, Woods will now have to sit out for the second consecutive game as he recovers from a hamstring injury. Sam Franklin should continue to see more work in Woods' absence.

Woods (hamstring) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Woods' absence from practice Wednesday is no big surprise after it was reported last week that he could miss 4-6 weeks. He looks to be on track to miss a second consecutive game in Week 5.

Woods suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's game against the Seahawks and might miss 4-6 weeks, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The safety made one tackle before leaving the game and has 11 in three contests in 2023. Woods signed a three-year contract with the Panthers before the 2022 season and recorded 86 tackles and six passes defended in 15 starts last year. The seventh-year pro's absence should allow Sam Franklin to step into a bigger role.

Woods has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Seahawks with a hamstring injury, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Panthers will now turn to Sam Franklin to take additional snaps at safety with Woods out for the rest of Sunday's contest and Jammie Robinson (coach's decision) ruled out before kickoff. Woods registered one tackle before exiting the game.

Woods has exited Sunday's game against the Seahawks with a hamstring injury, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Woods' current absence will leave the team light at safety, with Jammie Robinson a healthy inactive. Sam Franklin would be a likely candidate to step in while Woods is sidelined.
