2025 Projections
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
Signed a four-year contract with the Panthers in May of 2025.
X-rays clean
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.
