Panthers' Derrick Brown: Goes on IR, season over
Carolina placed Derrick Brown (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday. He'll miss the remainder of the 2024 season, Darin Gantt of the Carolina Panthers' official site reports.Brown tallied three tackles and played 60 of the Panthers' 66 defensive snaps in Sunday's 47-10 loss to the Saints in Week 1 but emerged from the contest with a meniscus injury. He's expected to undergo a procedure to address the injury, and the fact that the Panthers are ruling him out for the season suggests that he'll be getting a full repair of the meniscus rather than a partial meniscectomy. A 2020 first-round draft pick, Brown earned his first Pro Bowl nod last season when he suited up for all 17 games while registering 103 tackles, two sacks, one interception and six passes defensed.

Panthers' Derrick Brown: Expected to undergo knee surgery
Derrick Brown (knee) is feared to have suffered a season-ending meniscus injury during Sunday's 47-10 loss to the Saints, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.Brown's injury is among the worst pieces of news the Carolina Panthers could receive after the Week 1 rout. Following the offseason departure of Brian Burns, Brown was expected to anchor the front seven after signing a four-year, $96 million contract extension. Brown will require knee surgery, but a timeline for his return won't become clear until doctors can go in and determine the severity of the damage. It sounds inevitable that the Panthers will soon rule Brown out for a Week 2 tilt versus the Chargers, which could thrust Jayden Peevy and LaBryan Ray into expanded roles.

Panthers' Derrick Brown: Lands massive contract extension
Derrick Brown has agreed to a four-year contract extension with the Carolina Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Per Schefter, Brown's four-year extension with Carolina is for $96 million and includes $63.165 million guaranteed. The 2020 first-rounder is coming off a 2023 regular season in which he racked up 103 tackles -- an NFL record for a defensive lineman -- to go along with 2.0 sacks and an interception in 17 games. By extending Brown, the Panthers retain a major piece in the middle of their defense for the next several years, a key move for a unit that no longer includes Brian Burns following his trade to the Giants in March.

While 2024 is currently slated to be Brown's final year with the Carolina Panthers, it wouldn't be surprising if a new front office seeks to secure him to a long-term deal before next season.
