2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ray saw increased playing time in his second year in Carolina, improving as both a pass rusher and run stopper while recording 41 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, over 591 defensive snaps. The Panthers bolstered their defensive line in free agency by signing Tershawn Wharton and Bobby Brown, addressing a unit that struggled across the board in 2024. As a result, Ray is likely to serve as a backup defensive end this season. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a contract with the Panthers in March of 2025.
Week-to-week with ankle injury
Ray is considered week-to-week due to an ankle issue, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer, Ray is dealing with a mild high-ankle sprain. While the defensive end is unlikely to suit up for Saturday's second preseason contest against Houston, the Panthers hope he can return in time to face the Steelers on Thursday, Aug. 21. Ray is on the roster bubble, so it will be imperative for him to heal up as soon as possible so that he can make his case for a spot on the team.
