Brown did not record a stat in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Falcons. Brown was on the injury report with a knee injury leading up to the NFC South matchup, and he went on to log a season-low 67 percent defensive snap rate. He also failed to record a tackle in a game for the first time since Week 11 of the 2020 campaign.

Brown (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. The veteran defensive lineman sustained a knee injury in the Panthers' Week 8 loss to the Bills, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. Brown is an integral part of Carolina's defense, recording 27 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and five passes defended over the team's first eight games. Now back at full health, he's expected to operate as one of the Panthers' top defensive linemen in the Week 9 matchup against the Packers.

Brown (knee) doesn't believe that he is dealing with a significant injury, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. Brown exited in the fourth quarter of Sunday's Week 8 matchup against Buffalo and didn't return. The veteran defensive end said after the loss that he is fine and that his knee "just locked up" on the artificial turf. Panthers coach Dave Canales also said that Brown should be fine, per Newton, but Brown's participation level during Week 9 practices should provide further clarity about his status moving forward.

Brown (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bills, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports. Brown went to the blue medical tent to be evaluated for a knee injury, but he may be held out the rest of the way given that the Bills hold a commanding lead in the fourth quarter. If he's unable to return, then LaBryan Ray and Bobby Brown would be in line for more snaps at defensive end.

Brown recorded seven total tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks, and three passes defended in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets. The 2020 first-round pick from Auburn was one of five Panthers to sack a Jets quarterback, taking down both Tyrod Taylor and Justin Fields during Sunday's win. After playing just one game in 2024 due to a knee injury, Brown has returned to his usual form to begin Carolina's 2025 campaign. He's been a large part of the team's defensive success, recording 26 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and five passes defended over the first seven games. Expect Brown to remain an integral part of the Panthers' defensive game plan in Week 8, when the Bills travel to Carolina.
