Tending to back issue
Wonnum (back) did not participate at OTAs on Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
ANALYSIS
Wonnum apparently had his back "flare up," but it's not clear what brought about the injury, or the severity of the issue. For now, Patrick Jones and rookie second-rounder Nic Scourton figure to see more first-team practice reps off the edge.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
After trading outside linebacker Brian Burnes to the Giants in March, the Panthers made it a priority to fortify a seemingly weak room of pass rushers by adding both Wonnum and Jadeveon Clowney in free agency. Wonnum is coming off the most productive season of his young career, tallying 62 tackles, including 8.0 sacks, 38 pressures and seven passes defended in 15 games with the Vikings. He'll line up opposite Clowney for the Panthers defense in 2024, and the two should make an impact as a solid pass-rushing duo.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might begin camp on PUP list
Wonnum has missed the Panthers' offseason program while dealing with complications from quadriceps surgery, and he appears likely to begin training camp on the PUP list, Joseph Person of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old edge rusher was signed as a free agent in the offseason after recording eight sacks and a career-high 62 tackles with the Vikings in 2023. Wonnum has yet to practice with his new club, however, putting his availability for camp in serious doubt. He still has time to get healthy prior to Week 1, but he'll need to show progress soon.
