Panthers' Derrick Brown: Career-high 13 stops in Week 18
Brown finished Saturday's 16-14 loss to the Buccaneers with 13 tackles (five solo).
Not only were Brown's 13 stops a career high, they were also the most among defensive linemen in a single game this season, per Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer. The sixth-year pro will end the 2025 regular season with 73 tackles (33 solo), including a career-high 5.0 sacks, seven pass defenses and one forced fumble across 17 games. It was an impressive bounce-back season for Brown, who missed all but one regular-season game in 2024 after suffering a meniscus injury in his knee in September of 2024. The Panthers' loss Saturday means they are relying on a Falcons win over the Saints on Sunday to clinch the NFC South division title and the No. 4 seed in the conference playoffs.

Panthers' Derrick Brown: No stats in win
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.

Panthers' Derrick Brown: Battling knee injury
Brown was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Brown played his typical role in Sunday's loss to the Saints and logged a season-high nine tackles, so it's unclear when he suffered the injury. It could be a move to limit his workload, so his practice status for the rest of the week is worth monitoring.

Panthers' Derrick Brown: Ready for Sunday
Brown (elbow) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints.
The 27-year-old popped up on the Panthers' injury report Thursday as a limited practice participant due to an elbow issue.

Panthers' Derrick Brown: Logs limited session Thursday

Brown was a new addition to the injury report Thursday. However, the 27-year-old does not appear to be too concerned with the injury designation, saying his elbow is "good", per Joe Person of The Athletic.

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.

Panthers' Derrick Brown: Not dealing with major injury
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.

Panthers' Derrick Brown: Exits with knee injury
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.

Panthers' Derrick Brown: Does it all in Week 7
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.
