Wharton (neck) still does not have a clear return timeline, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.
Wharton started training camp on the active/PUP list due to neck surgery he had in mid-May. The defensive tackle has yet to be cleared for contact but has been participating in individual drills while he waits to be medically cleared. Wharton is coming off a career-high 36 tackles (11 solo) over nine regular-season games.

Panthers' Tershawn Wharton: Out indefinitely
Wharton underwent neck surgery in early May and is out indefinitely, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Wharton signed a three-year, $45 million contract with the Panthers last offseason, and he played just nine regular-season games in 2025, recording 36 tackles (11 solo), 2.0 sacks and a pass breakup. It's unclear if he'll miss any time, but LaBryan Ray would likely handle an increased workload if Wharton's injury lingers.

Panthers' Tershawn Wharton: Logs career-high
Wharton (hamstring) totaled 36 tackles (11 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and a pass defended across nine regular-season games during the 2025 campaign.
Wharton had one of his most productive seasons in 2025, as he tallied a career-high 36 points despite missing eight games, including the final four contests of the regular season due to a hamstring injury. While the 27-year-old managed to suit up for the wild-card loss to the Rams, he aggravated the injury during the game and will likely begin the offseason focused on getting healthy.

Panthers' Tershawn Wharton: Inactive for Week 18
Wharton (hamstring) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Wharton was a full participant in practice all three days this week, yet he will still be unable to suit up for Week 18. The defensive end's absence means Bobby Brown will likely see a large portion of snaps at defensive end yet again. The Panthers will be without Wharton for a fourth consecutive game, this time for a matchup that could decide the winner of the NFC South.

Panthers' Tershawn Wharton: Questionable for Saturday
Wharton (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Buccaneers.
Despite practicing in full throughout the week, Wharton is listed as questionable for the Week 18 contest. The first-year Panther has been effective when on the field, recording 36 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and one pass defensed over nine appearances this season. If he's sidelined for the fourth consecutive game Saturday, expect Bobby Brown to draw another start on the Panthers' defensive line.

Panthers' Tershawn Wharton: Full participant in walk-through
Wharton (hamstring) was estimated to be a full participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Wharton logging a full estimated practice ahead of Saturday's divisional showdown is a huge step up from the defensive tackle's participation in prior weeks. The 27-year-old is on pace to play in his first game since Week 14, and he has two more opportunities to show consistent reps before Saturday's contest.

Panthers' Tershawn Wharton: Participates in walk-through
Wharton (hamstring) was seen participating in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Wharton has missed three consecutive games for the Panthers due to his hamstring injury. The participation in Tuesday's walk-through practice is a positive sign for the defensive end's chances of suiting up for Saturday's game against the Buccaneers, which could decide the division. If Wharton can practice enough to draw an active status, Bobby Brown, Cam Jackson and LaBryan Ray are likely all set to see a diminished defensive snap count in Saturday's contest.
