Woods (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. The 29-year-old now appears to be dealing with a shoulder issue following the Panthers' Week 11 bye. Woods has appeared in all 10 of Carolina's games this season, recording 69 total tackles and three passes defended, including two interceptions. If he's unable to suit up when the Panthers host the Chiefs in Week 12, expect Lonnie Johnson to serve as Carolina's top free safety.

Woods recorded eight tackles (three solo) and an interception during Sunday's 20-17 overtime win against the Giants. Woods played more than 70 defensive snaps for his third game in a row in Week 10, and he came up with his second pick of the year in a game where Daniel Jones threw two interceptions. He's solidly on the IDP map in most formats for the rest of the second half of the year.

Woods recorded seven total tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 40-7 loss to the Commanders. The veteran safety has now accumulated 51 total tackles across the Panthers' first seven games and has 16 more tackles than Carolina's second-leading tackler, Shaq Thompson (Achilles). Woods is on pace for just under 124 total tackles across 17 regular-season games this year, which would surpass his previous best of 108 stops with the Vikings in 2018. Expect Woods to continue as one of the few bright spots on Carolina's defense ahead of the team's Week 8 matchup against the Broncos.

Woods logged 10 total tackles (seven solo), including one tackle for loss, while also nabbing an interception during Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Bengals. Woods was one of the few bright spots on Carolina's defense in Week 4, leading the team while racking up a season-high 10 stops. The veteran safety also picked off Joe Burrow in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss, helping the Panthers cut Cincinnati's lead to just one score. Woods has now recorded 28 total tackles and one interception across the Panthers' first four contests, and he's expected to continue making plays as the team takes on the Bears in Week 5.

Woods (groin) was left off the Panthers' injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Saints. Woods had been battling a groin injury since mid-August, but he now appears to be past the issue. The veteran safety appeared in 14 regular-season games with Carolina in 2023, recording 61 total tackles and seven passes defended, including two interceptions. He's expected to start alongside offseason addition Jordan Fuller as part of the Panthers' top safety duo in 2024.
