Won't play vs. Denver
Nijman (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. Nijman has been limited in practice all week due to a knee injury, which will keep him sidelined for Sunday's contest. Taylor Moton (elbow) will return from a two-game absence to start at right tackle.
Iffy for Week 8
Nijman (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos. Nijman was limited in practice all week due to a knee issue. Taylor Moton (elbow) could be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's contest, and if that's the case, he could reclaim his starting right tackle job from Nijman.
Good to go vs. Washington
Nijman (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. Nijman popped up on the Panthers' injury report with a knee injury Thursday. While he was a limited participant in Friday's session, he will be good to go Sunday and will provide depth for the Panthers' offensive line.
Suiting up for Week 1
Nijman (tibia) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. Nijman was able to log three consecutive limited practice sessions this week, and he is good to go for the Panthers' regular-season opener. He will provide depth at offensive tackle behind starters Taylor Moton and Ikem Ekwonu.
Could play Sunday
Nijman (lower leg) is listed as questionable ahead of Carolina's Week 1 contest against the Saints on Sunday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. The first-year Panther has been dealing with a lower leg issue for over a month, but after Friday's limited practice session, it appears he has a chance at suiting up Sunday. Nijman appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the Packers last season, and he's expected to serve as Carolina's top backup tackle Sunday, if he's able to play.
Passes physical
Nijma (undisclosed) was reinstated off the Panthers' active/PUP list Thursday after passing his physical, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Nijman spent the first four years of his career with the Packers, appearing in 67 regular-season games (including 22 starts, 13 of which came in 2022). He signed with the Panthers in March to provide depth to the offensive line. He's missed all of training camp due to an unspecified issue, but the 28-year-old is back and could suit up for Saturday's preseason finale against Buffalo.
