2025 Fantasy Outlook
Umanmielen, a 2025 third-round pick from Ole Miss, was a standout pass rusher during his final college season, ranking second in the SEC with 10.5 sacks over 12 games. He ran a 4.72 40-yard dash at 6-foot-4, 244 pounds at the combine, showcasing both athleticism and versatility to strengthen a previously weak Carolina pass-rush unit. Don't be surprised if Umanmielen earns more playing time as the season progresses and becomes more familiar with Ejiro Evero's defensive scheme. Read Past Outlooks

Shoulder
August 21, 2025
Umanmielen (shoulder) underwent X-rays, which came back clean, after Thursday's 19-10 preseason loss to the Steelers, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Umanmielen left Thursday's contest in the first half after suffering a shoulder injury, but he appears to have avoided a serious injury. The edge rusher said that his X-rays didn't reveal anything, and he thinks he'll be fine. Umanmielen will now shift his focus to ensuring he's ready for Week 1 versus the Jaguars on Sept. 7.
