• Panthers' Trevin Wallace: Rehabbing after shoulder surgery

  02/25/2025 • By RotoWire

  Panthers general manager Dan Morgan said Tuesday at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine that Wallace (shoulder) is recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. Morgan said Wallace is already rehabbing and out of his sling, so the 2024 third-round pick may not miss much of the offseason. He compiled 64 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles across 13 regular-season appearances as a rookie. With Carolina moving on from Shaq Thompson (Achilles), Wallace is a candidate to earn a starting spot at inside linebacker in Year 2.

• Panthers' Trevin Wallace: Likely needs surgery

  12/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Head coach Dave Canales told reporters Wednesday that Wallace will likely need a procedure to clean up his shoulder injury, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports. Wallace was placed on injured reserve Tuesday after sustaining a shoulder injury in Carolina's Week 13 loss to the Eagles, so it's no surprise that he will likely require surgery to repair the issue. The 21-year-old linebacker put together a solid rookie campaign before the injury, posting 64 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles over 13 games (despite not playing any defensive snaps in the first two weeks). Wallace's performance this season could earn him a starting spot on the Panthers' defense next year, but Jon Rhattigan will step in and serve as one of the team's top inside linebackers for the remainder of 2024.

• Panthers' Trevin Wallace: Placed on IR due to shoulder injury

  12/17/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Panthers placed Wallace (shoulder) on injured reserve Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. Wallace suffered a shoulder injury against the Eagles in Week 14, which forced him to be sidelined against the Cowboys this past Sunday. By being placed on IR and with the Panthers eliminated from postseason contention, Wallace will be sidelined for the final three games of the regular season. The rookie third-rounder stepped into a larger role in the Panthers' defense following the season-ending torn Achilles injury to veteran Shaq Thompson in early October, and Wallace will finish his first NFL regular season with 64 tackles (36 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 13 games. Jacoby Windmon will serve as the main backup at inside linebacker behind Jon Rhattigan and Josey Jewell due to Wallace's injury.

• Panthers' Trevin Wallace: Logs first career sack Sunday

  12/02/2024 • By RotoWire

  Wallace recorded five total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Buccaneers. Wallace was one of four Panthers defenders to record a sack in the Week 13 loss, bringing down Baker Mayfield for an eight-yard loss in overtime that led to a missed 55-yard field goal from Chase McLaughlin. The 2024 third-round pick was thrust into a starting role after Shaq Thompson tore his Achilles in Week 4, recording 55 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles in eight games since. Wallace is expected to remain one of the Panthers' top defensive playmakers in a Week 14 matchup against the Eagles.

• Panthers' Trevin Wallace: Nine more tackles in defeat

  10/16/2024 • By RotoWire

  Wallace recorded nine tackles (six solo), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in the Panthers' loss to the Falcons on Sunday. Wallace made his second straight start with Shaq Thompson (Achilles, IR) done for the season. After recording 15 tackles (10 solo) in Week 5 against the Bears, Wallace continued his tackling ways versus Atlanta. He added the fumble recovery in the second quarter after Ray-Ray McCloud coughed up the football. Wallace should continue to rack up the tackles going forward with the Panthers projected to be trailing on the scoreboard most weeks, allowing opponents to run the ball more, leading to higher tackle rates for Carolina's linebackers.
