Panthers' Josey Jewell: Notches 10 tackles in loss
Rotowire
Jewell recorded 10 total tackles (six solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Broncos.
Jewell had missed the Panthers' last three games due to a hamstring injury sustained in Carolina's Week 4 loss to the Bengals before returning Sunday. The Iowa product picked up right where he left off, notching his second double-digit tackle performance of the season. With Shaq Thompson (Achilles) sidelined for the remainder of the season, Jewell will likely take on a larger role in the Panthers' defense and could be a viable IDP option on a weekly basis moving forward.

Panthers' Josey Jewell: Returning in Week 8?
Rotowire
Jewell (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.
Jewell has missed the Panthers' last three games after sustaining a hamstring injury in the team's Week 4 loss to the Bengals. However, it appears he could return Sunday after logging a week of limited practice sessions.

Rotowire
Jewell (hamstring) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

Panthers' Josey Jewell: Unavailable for Week 7
Rotowire
Jewell (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Jewell didn't practice in any capacity this week, so it's unsurprising to see him ruled out for a third straight game. With backup Claudin Cherelus (hamstring) also unavailable for Sunday, though, Washington will be in position to potentially take advantage of a depleted Panthers' interior-linebacker group. Jewell's next chance to return will come Week 8 against the Broncos.

Panthers' Josey Jewell: Out versus Atlanta
Rotowire
Jewell (hamstring/groin) is out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Jewell will miss another week after sitting out Carolina's defeat to the Bears in Week 5. The veteran linebacker logged a DNP during each practice this week, meaning his absence could extend further into the season.

Panthers' Josey Jewell: Not expected to return
Rotowire
Jewell (hamstring) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Jewell's exit came early in the fourth quarter and saw Claudin Cherelus and Trevin Wallace finish the position at linebacker. Assuming Jewell doesn't return, he'll work to get back in time for Week 5 against the Bears.
Jewell recorded 11 total tackles (eight solo) during Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Chargers.
Jewell finished as Carolina's second-leading tackler in Week 2, trailing only Shaq Thompson's 14-stop performance. The first-year Panther has proved to be an impactful inside linebacker despite Carolina's defensive struggles across its first two games, as Jewell has logged 18 total tackles and one pass defended on 123 defensive snaps. He's expected to continue racking up tackles as the Panthers take on the Raiders in Week 3.

Broncos' Josey Jewell: Posts 108 stops over 16 games
Rotowire
Jewell recorded 108 tackles (60 solo), including 3.0 sacks, three passes defensed, two forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries over 16 contests during the 2023 campaign.
Jewell finished his sixth season in Denver with the second-most tackles behind Alex Singleton. The veteran linebacker's 3.0 sacks and three fumble recoveries were both career highs for each category. Jewell is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and the Broncos may be compelled to re-sign him ahead of the 2024 campaign based on his consistent production. The 29-year-old will look to pick up where he left off as a strong IDP option next season.
