News

  • Expects to be ready for Week 1

    Brown (knee) said Wednesday that he's participating in voluntary offseason workouts and expects to be ready for the start of the regular season, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Brown missed all but one game of the 2024 season due to a meniscus injury, though he suited up for all 17 games in back-to-back prior seasons, including a 2023 campaign in which he tallied a career-best 103 tackles (57 solo), including 2.0 sacks, six passes defensed and one interception. Getting the 2020 first-round pick back to full health will be crucial to the performance of Carolina's defensive front.

  • Goes on IR, season over

    Carolina placed Brown (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday. He'll miss the remainder of the 2024 season, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Expected to undergo knee surgery

    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.

    Analysis: Brown's injury is among the worst pieces of news the 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…read more

  • Lands massive contract extension

    Brown has agreed to a four-year contract extension with the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Record-setting season

    Brown finished the regular season with 103 tackles (57 solo), including 2.0 sacks, along with an interception in 17 games.

    Analysis: Brown enjoyed an exemplary campaign, as his tackle total set an NFL record for defensive linemen. The 25-year-old has increased his tackle tally across each of his four seasons, making good on the first-round investment Carolina made in him back in 2020. While 2024 is currently slated to be Brown's final year with the Panthers, it wouldn't be surprising if a new front office seeks to secure him to a long-term deal before next season.

  • Busy day in loss

    Brown finished Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Jaguars with eight tackles (three solo).

    Analysis: Brown tied with Brian Burns for the most tackles on the team Sunday. Brown has registered five-plus tackles in eight of his last 10 games since the Panthers' Week 7 bye. He's up to a career-high 96 tackles (51 solo) on the season.

  • Productive in loss

    Brown logged nine total tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Brown has had a career year for the Panthers' defense, recording 88 total tackles, including six tackles for loss and 1.0 sacks, while deflecting four passes and intercepting one as well. The Auburn product ranks second on Carolina in total tackles, but his 88 are good enough to make him the NFL's leading tackler amongst defensive lineman. Expect Brown to continue wreaking havoc for the Panthers' defense as the year goes on.

  • Secures interception in loss

    Brown recorded 10 tackles (five solo), intercepted a pass and deflected another in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Brown was able to reach double-digit tackles for the second time this season and also intercepted a pass from Derek Carr in the second quarter. The defensive lineman has now registered a career-high 74 tackles, including a sack, over 13 contests so far in 2023.

  • Records 10 tackles

    Brown finished with 10 tackles (nine solo) in the Panthers' 16-13 loss to the Bears on Thursday.

    Analysis: The starting defensive end also played 90 percent of the defensive snaps. Brown has 49 tackles and two passes defensed this season.

  • Active for Week 6

    Brown (knee) is active for Sunday's game against Miami.

    Analysis: Brown picked up the injury during a Week 5 matchup against the Lions, though he'll be ready to go after turning in a limited practice Friday. He has played a key role along the Carolina defensive line, tallying 29 tackles and a sack across five games.

  • Questionable for Week 6

    Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Brown turned in a limited practice Friday after not participating Thursday, at least giving himself a fighting chance at suiting up at Miami. If he's forced to sit out, it could mean an expanded role for Nick Thurman at defensive tackle.

  • Tallies seven tackles in loss

    Brown accumulated seven tackles (four solo) in the 20-17 loss to New Orlean's in Week 2.

    Analysis: Brown is now up to 15 tackles (12 solo) through two games. The defensive tackle was on the field for nearly every defensive play Monday, as he saw 69 snaps (93 percent). He also chipped in on five special teams plays (21 percent). He will look to carry his early-season momentum into Sunday's matchup with the Seahawks.

  • Leads team in tackles

    Brown recorded nine tackles (eight solo, two for a loss) and one sack in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Brown put a stop to the Falcons' last drive of the first half by sacking quarterback Desmond Ridder for 13 yards. Seven of Brown's nine tackles came in the second half as Atlanta shifted to more running plays late with the lead. He is well on his way to eclipsing the career-high 67 tackles he had last season. The Panthers will face another divisional rival in Week 2 as they take on the Saints in their home opener on Monday night.

  • Fifth-year option picked up

    Brown had his fifth-year option picked up by the Panthers on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Brown has been very productive over three seasons with the Panthers, most recently recording a career-high 67 tackles, including a sack, while deflecting seven passes and intercepting a ball over 17 games in 2022. The team will now have another year of control on Brown before he could reach free agency following the 2024 campaign.

  • Career high in stops

    Brown made a career-high 67 tackles (30 solo) to go with one sack and seven passes defended while playing all 17 games across the 2022 season.

    Analysis: Brown also intercepted the first pass of his career, an added bonus to his most productive tackling campaign thus far. Since being drafted seventh overall in 2020, Brown has struggled getting to the passer consistently, but he at least elevated his performance elsewhere this season. Depending on whether the Panthers pick up his fifth-year option or not, 2023 could be Brown's final under contact in Carolina.

  • Participates in full

    Brown (illness) was a full participant in practice Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Brown left Sunday's loss to the Bengals early due to an illness, and he was listed as a limited participant in Monday's estimated practice report as well. However, it appears the third-year pro has fully recovered and will be able to suit up Thursday against the Falcons.

  • Questionable to return

    Brown is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals due to an illness, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: If Brown isn't able to return to Sunday's contest versus Cincinnati due to an illness, Matt Ioannidis and Bravvion Roy are slated to handle most defensive tackle snaps for the rest of the day

  • Posts 12 tackles in close loss

    Brown recorded 12 tackles (five solo) and 0.5 sacks in Sunday's 37-34 overtime defeat against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Brown logged the first double double-digit tackle outing of his career while playing a season-high 60 defensive snaps Sunday. However, the defensive tackle still finished as the Panthers' second-leading tackler behind linebacker Shaq Thompson (13). While Brown has not been as productive in the sack column this season, he's just one tackle shy of setting a new career high over just eight games played in 2022.

  • Productive in defeat

    Brown finished with seven tackles (three solo) and half a sack in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Brown registered a pair of quarterback hits and posted his highest tackle tally of the season to boot. That performance likely won't calm trade speculation surrounding the talented tackle, as Brown now sports 24 tackles, half a sack, one interception and six total passes defended through six games so far.

  • Makes rare interception

    Brown made two solo tackles and defended two passes, including an interception, in Sunday's 22-14 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Brown picked off opposing quarterback Jameis Winston to begin the fourth quarter, marking the first interception of his three-year career. Through three games, he's already defended three passes to go with 11 tackles, but Brown is yet to record his first sack.

  • Ready to go for season opener

    Brown (oblique) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Brown was sidelined early as a precaution during the Panthers' preseason finale, but he appears to be fully healthy heading into the regular season. The 2020 first-round pick has recorded 75 tackles and five sacks through his first two NFL seasons and should garner another sizable role in 2022.

  • Held out as precaution

    Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said Brown (oblique) didn't return to Friday's preseason contest against the Bills due to precautionary reasons, Ellis L. Williams of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Brown registered half a sack before leaving the contest with what appears to be a minor injury. The 2020 first-round pick has recorded 75 tackles and five sacks through his first two NFL seasons, and, as long as he's healthy, he is set to continue in a starting role in 2022.

  • Ruled out Friday

    Brown has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday's preseason game against the Bills due to an oblique injury, Schuyler Callihan of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear when Brown suffered the injury, but he registered a half sack of Bills' backup quarterback Case Keenum before leaving the contest. The 2020 first-round pick has recorded 75 tackles and five sacks through his first two NFL seasons, so it'd be a major blow to Carolina's defense if he's forced to miss an extended period.

  • Encouraging rookie campaign

    Brown finished the 2020 season with 34 tackles (21 solo), two sacks and four passes defended in 16 games played.

    Analysis: Brown was drafted seventh overall last year and immediately became a starter in the middle of the Panthers' defense. At 6-5 and 318 pounds, Brown proved to be a disruptive interior presence, playing 70 percent of Carolina's defensive snaps overall and pitching in with a pair of sacks of Aaron Rodgers in Week 15. The 22-year-old will now aim to elevate his game further heading into his second season.
