The Panthers on Wednesday placed both their starting corners on IR. Jaycee Horn suffered a torn quad in Sunday's loss to the Browns, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He has sought second opinions this week. Jackson injured his groin in the same game. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler says the team is hoping to get Jackson back "some time in November." Carolina's next four games land in October, surrounding a Week 5 bye. So it sounds like there's a chance Jackson misses only the minimum before getting reactivated.

Panthers CB Mike Jackson left Sunday's game at Cleveland with a groin injury. The team ruled him out, which doesn't bode well for his Week 4 outlook. Carolina gets a home clash with the Lions before a Week 5 bye. That could factor into the timing of Jackson's return.

The Panthers have ruled LB Devin Lloyd (calf) and S Nick Scott (rib) out for Sunday's game against the Browns. Both guys missed practice all week, which puts Week 4 in question as well. We'll check their statuses next week.

Panthers Edge Nic Scourton tore his right ACL in Thursday's practice and is likely headed for season-ending surgery, according to multiple reports. He'll get a second opinion, but these initial diagnoses rarely prove to be wrong.

The Pantheres on Monday agreed to terms with free-agent Edge Jaelan Phillips and free-agent LB Devin Lloyd. It's a three-year, $45 million deal with Lloyd, according to NFL Network, that will include $25 million guaranteed. Phillips garnered a monster four-year, $120 million pact that includes $80 million in guarantees.

The Panthers have ruled LB Trevin Wallace out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers with a shoulder injury. Wallace followed a full Wednesday practice with limited work Thursday and Friday, giving the appearance of a midweek injury. But HC Dave Canales indicated after Friday's practice that Wallace had aggravated a previous shoulder injury in Sunday's loss to the Saints.

The Panthers appear likely to get their lead LB back for Sunday's game against the Rams. The team has listed Trevin Wallace as a full practice participant each of the first two days this week after Wallace missed the past two games with a shoulder injury. He'd return to a corps that appears likely to miss Christian Rozeboom (hamstring) and Claudin Cherelus (concussion), neither of whom has practiced this week.

The league has suspended Panthers S Tre'von Moehrig one game for punching 49ers WR Jauan Jennings ... in a sensitive area late in Monday night's contest. Jennings drew attention for an open-handed shot to Moehrig's head at the end of the game, but further review quickly revealed his motivation. Moehrig is appealing the ban.

The Panthers on Tuesday released LB Josey Jewell. The 30-year-old is reportedly still dealing with concussion symptoms, stemming from an injury he sustained in December.

The Panthers made starting S Jordan Fuller a healthy scratch for today's game against the Cardinals. Darin Gantt of the team website reports that rookie Demani Richardson is expected to start in Fuller's place.

The Panthers list LB Josey Jewell as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. But Jewell played through the same hamstring injury last week and appears to be in better shape than he was then. Jewell finished this week with a full Friday practice. Week 14 watched him go limited, no practice, limited before playing every snap against the Eagles -- despite a "questionable" designation.

Panthers LB Josey Jewell and Edge D.J. Wonnum are active for today's game against the Eagles. Wonnum finished the week with a full Friday practice and looks fine for planned usage. Jewell sat out Thursday between limited practices and undoubtedly carries some risk. He sits in LB3 range of our Week 14 rankings.

Panthers LB Josey Jewell is questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles. He went from a limited Wednesday to sitting out Thursday's practice but then returning for a limited Friday. We'll need to watch Jewell's status ahead of the game. Carolina originally listed Edge Jadeveon Clowney (knee) as questionable as well but downgraded him to out Saturday.

The Panthers get S Jordan Fuller and Edge D.J. Wonnum back from injuries for today's game against the Giants. Each player is active and expected to start. Edge Charles Harris, meanwhile, turned up as a healthy scratch to make room. He had seen starter-level work since Week 3.

Panthers HC Dave Canales said Monday the team expects LB Josey Jewell to miss at least one game after leaving Sunday's contest with groin and hamstring injuries.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Panthers LB Shaq Thompson suffered a torn Achilles' tendon in Sunday's loss to the Bengals and will miss the rest of the season.

The Panthers have placed DT Derrick Brown on season-ending IR for the meniscus injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Saints. That leaves a gaping hole up front on a defense that was already bad.

The Panthers lost DT Derrick Brown to a meniscus injury in Sunday's loss to the Saints. Brown will need surgery, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, and that operation will determine how long Brown will be out. Pelissero calls it "potentially season-ending."

Panthers Edge D.J. Wonnum missed all of spring workouts with "complications" related to his December quad surgery, according to The Athletic's Joseph Person. The report adds that Wonnum "likely will begin training camp on the physically unable to perform list." Wonnum signed a two-year, $12.5 million deal with Carolina this offseason after playing his first four years in Minnesota.
