Okereke recorded nine tackles (six solo) and an interception in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Falcons.
Okereke signed with the Panthers just over three weeks ago and has already carved out a prominent role at linebacker alongside Devin Lloyd. Both made noise against Atlanta, as the duo combined for three interceptions. Through two games, Okereke has logged 15 tackles (nine solo), one QB hit and the interception on one pass breakup across 80.6 percent of the Panthers' defensive snaps.
