D.J. Wonnum Latest News
Good to go against Atlanta
Wonnum (knee/rest) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Falcons. Wonnum opened the week as a DNP in order to get some additional rest due to a lingering knee issue. He ramped up his practice participation over the next two days, culminating in a full session Friday. Wonnum has logged 32 tackles (17 solo), including 4.0 sacks, one pass defense and fumble recovery across seven regular-season games.
Returns to practice Thursday
Wonnum (knee/rest) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Wonnum was able to play through a shoulder issue during the Panthers' Week 17 loss to the Buccaneers and finished with five tackles (two solo) while playing 55 snaps (47 on defense, eight on special teams). The 2020 fourth-rounder didn't practice Wednesday due to rest and a knee issue, but his limited participation Thursday indicates that he is trending towards being available for Sunday's regular-season finale against Atlanta. In the six games since the Panthers' Week 11 bye, Wonnum has registered 26 tackles (13 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and one pass defense.
Will play against Tampa Bay
Wonnum (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. Wonnum closed the week with consecutive limited practices due to a shoulder injury. However, the injury doesn't appear to be serious enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's NFC South showdown. Wonnum will start at edge rusher opposite Jadeveon Clowney.
Questionable to face Tampa Bay
Wonnum (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucs. After logging a full practice Wednesday, Wonnum was limited Thursday and Friday. He missed the first nine games of the season and has been dealing with injuries much of the year. Wonnum has played in each of the last six contests, logging 27 tackles (15 solo), including 4.0 sacks, and one forced fumble as the team's top edge rusher.
Nursing shoulder injury
Wonnum (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Wonnum has been playing through knee and hamstring injuries over the past few weeks. He was a full participant in Tuesday's half-speed practice, but he was limited in Thursday's session due to a shoulder injury. Wonnum would avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's NFC South clash against the Buccaneers if he were to practice fully Friday. Wonnum has logged 21 tackles (11 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and one pass defense in the five games since the Panthers' Week 11 bye.
Limited Wednesday
Wonnum (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. Wonnum played through his knee injury and served as one of the Panthers' top defensive playmakers in Sunday's loss to the Eagles, recording five total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, over 42 defensive snaps. It's likely that Wednesday's limited practice session is precautionary, but Wonnum's participation Thursday and Friday will be the best indication of whether he can suit up in Week 15, when the Panthers host the Cowboys.
Gets sack in loss
Wonnum recorded five tackles (three solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 22-16 loss at Philadelphia. After missing the first nine games of the season while recovering from a quadriceps surgery, Wonnum has now posted sacks in three of the Panthers' last four contests. He'll be looking to keep up the heat in Week 15 versus the pass-heavy Cowboys.
Good to go against Eagles
Wonnum (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. Wonnum opened the week with consecutive limited practices due to a knee injury. He finished strong with a full practice Friday and has done enough to be cleared to play Sunday. In his three games since returning from the reserve/PUP list in early November, Wonnum has logged 14 tackles (eight solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one forced fumble.
Nursing knee issue
Wonnum (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. Wonnum was also limited at practice the Wednesday before Carolina's tilt versus the Buccaneers in Week 13, but that was due to a hamstring injury, and his knee issue looks like it's separate. If he can't manage a full practice Thursday or Friday, he'll likely go into the weekend with an injury designation.
