News

  • Won't be activated Week 12

    Gross-Matos is out for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    Analysis: Gross-Matos' 21-day window to be activated from injured reserve was opened Thursday, but he won't return in Week 12. The linebacker was a limited participant in practice both Thursday and Friday. He will need to be officially activated from IR in order to play in Week 13 against the Buccaneers.

  • Nearing return

    Gross-Matos (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday.

    Analysis: Gross-Matos will now have a 21-day window to practice with the team before needing to be added to the 53-man roster. He is eligible to return as soon as Sunday against Tennessee, but it may be unlikely for the Penn State product to suit up with limited time to practice. Assuming he misses, his next opportunity to play would be Week 13 against the Buccaneers.

  • Moved to IR

    The Panthers placed Gross-Matos (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: Gross-Matos sustained the injury in the Panthers' Week 6 loss to the Dolphins. The fourth-year linebacker out of Penn State was up to 14 tackles (seven solo) including 2.5 sacks in six games before injuring his hamstring. He'll now have to miss at least the next four games and will be eligible to return in Week 12 against the Titans on Nov. 26.

  • Moving to OLB

    Gross-Matos will move to outside linebacker with Carolina transitioning to a 3-4 defense, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

    Analysis: New defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero is transitioning the Panthers from the 4-3 scheme they had been running the past three seasons. Gross-Matos previously was listed as a defensive end, but in the new system the 2020 second-round pick will need to learn to drop back into coverage more often. During his three-year NFL career, Gross-Matos has racked up 106 tackles, 8.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in 43 appearances, playing a career-high 806 defensive snaps in 2022 as he moved into a starting…read more

  • Makes tackle for loss

    Gross-Matos finished with three tackles (two solo) and defended a pass in Friday's 21-0 preseason win over the Bills.

    Analysis: Gross-Matos' tackle tally included one stop for loss. The third-year defensive end played just over one-third of Carolina's snaps, gearing him up for a starting role heading into Week 1. In 14 games last year, including only two starts, Gross-Matos posted 28 tackles (18 solo), 3.5 sacks and one forced fumble.

  • Practicing with team

    Gross-Matos (hamstring) has been practicing with the team, Joseph Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gross-Matos was unavailable during OTAs while tending to a hamstring injury, but he has been active at training camp. The third-year-pro is a frontrunner to replace former starter Haason Reddick on the edge.

  • Tending to hamstring injury

    Gross-Matos is dealing with a hamstring injury and hasn't been available for OTAs, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Matt Rhule wasn't able to offer a timeline for Gross-Matos' return to the field. The 24-year-old is a projected starter at defensive end heading into 2022 and will be looking to build off a 2021 campaign in which he notched 28 tackles and 3.5 sacks over 14 games.

  • Clears COVID protocols

    Gross-Matos was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Gross-Matos was unable to play in the Panthers' season finale against the Buccaneers, but now that he's cleared protocols, he can return to the team facilities. In his second season, Matos finished with 28 tackles (18 solo), 3.5 sacks, a pass defensed and a forced fumble across 14 games.

  • Placed on reserve/COVID-19 list

    Gross-Matos (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Darin Gantt of Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The defensive end likely will be unavailable for Week 18 against the Buccaneers. Gross-Matos will need to clear league protocols before the weekend, and if he can't, Marquis Haynes and Azur Kamara could play larger roles Sunday.

  • Productive day versus Bills

    Gross-Matos finished with five tackles, 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Gross-Matos, a second-round pick last year, enjoyed his most disruptive performance as a pro, hitting opposing quarterback Josh Allen three times and jarring the ball loose once. Although the Panthers weren't able to recover that fumble, with 2.5 sacks Sunday, Gross-Matos matched his entire rookie-year total. The edge defender will now strive to build on his momentum over Carolina's final three contests.

  • Ready to go against Eagles

    Gross-Matos (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Darin Gannt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gross-Matos logged full practices all week, but he still held a questionable tag heading into the Week 5 contest. He'll now return after a two-game absence and should serve in a rotational role along the defensive line. Across two contests this season, Gross-Matos recorded three total tackles.

  • Full participant in practice

    Gross-Matos (ankle) was listed as a full participant for Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Gross-Matos missed the Panthers' last two games dealing with an ankle injury he suffered before Week 3. The defensive end will look to make his return Week 5 against the Eagles. If Gross-Matos is unable to play Sunday, expect Morgan Fox to see additional snaps.

  • To miss second straight

    Gross-Matos (ankle) is inactive Week 4 against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: No surprises here, as the reserve defensive end entered the week with a "doubtful" tag. The next chance for Gross-Matos to suit up will be a home matchup against the Eagles in Week 5.

  • Unlikely to be available for Week 4

    Coach Matt Rhule said Monday that it's doubtful Gross-Matos (ankle) is able to play against Dallas this weekend, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gross-Matos didn't practice in any capacity before Thursday's contest, and he appears set on the same trajectory this week. The 23-year-old defensive end has played primarily in a reserve role this season, so his absence shouldn't affect the Panthers' defensive rotations.

  • Won't play Thursday

    Gross-Matos (ankle) is ruled out for Thursday's contest against Houston.

  • Another missed practice

    Gross-Matos (ankle) did not practice Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gross-Matos has now missed back-to-back practices leading up to a Thursday Night Football matchup against the Texans. The 2020 second-round pick's final chance to upgrade his activity level will come Wednesday, at which point his game designation for Week 3 will also be revealed. Coach Matt Rhule is reportedly not optimistic about Gross-Matos' chances of suiting up in Houston.

  • Completes rookie campaign

    Gross-Matos finished the 2020 season with 24 tackles (nine solo), 2.5 sacks and one forced fumble in 12 games.

    Analysis: Gross-Matos was selected in the second round of last year's draft as the Panthers aimed to revamp their defense. While the 6-foot-5, 265-pounder surely sports upside, his rookie season got off to a slow start, as he missed some time due to an ankle injury. Gross-Matos would return to start his final seven games, registering five quarterback hits over that span. He'll aim to build on that momentum in his second season.

  • Sack against Washington

    Gross-Matos recorded a sack across 37 defensive snaps in Sunday's win over Washington.

    Analysis: The rookie got his second full sack of the season Sunday, as he now has 22 tackles (nine solo), 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble on the year. He'll look to finish his rookie campaign strong against the Saints on Sunday.

    The Panthers activated Gross-Matos (undisclosed) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gross-Matos spent the Panthers' bye week on the COVID-19 list, but he'll be available for Sunday's game against the Broncos. The rookie second-round pick has handled a rotational role at defensive end since Week 10.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Moves to COVID list

    The Panthers placed Gross-Matos on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

    Analysis: Gross-Matos either tested positive for the virus or came into close contact with an infected person. The Panthers are on bye in Week 13, so the rookie defensive end could return by the team's next game if he clears the league's COVID-19 protocol in time.

  • Suiting up Sunday

    Gross-Matos (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions, Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gross-Matos shook off a shoulder injury that kept him limited in practice, and he's expected to start at defensive end for a second straight game. The rookie second-round pick recorded five tackles in his first career start last week.

  • Posts five stops

    Gross-Matos made five tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 46-23 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Gross-Matos made his first career start with Stephen Weatherly (finger) on injured reserve, and he ended up logging a 61 percent snap share and a season high in tackles. The rookie second-rounder out of Penn State was drafted 38th overall in large part due to his pass-rushing ability, but he hasn't had much success in that arena yet, posting just one sack and four quarterback pressures through six games. He'll have two more games before Weatherly is eligible to return, though, so perhaps he can…read more

  • In line for first career start

    Gross-Matos will log his first career NFL start during Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: With Stephen Weatherly (finger) officially having been placed on injured reserve Saturday afternoon, Gross-Matos garners an opportunity to prove himself at one of the Panthers' defensive end spots. Gross-Matos himself was just activated from IR on Nov. 7, after he was sidelined for three weeks due to an ankle issue. The second-round rookie from Penn State has notched one sack, seven tackles and a forced fumble through five appearances this season.

  • Officially activated

    Gross-Matos (ankle) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gross-Matos has been sidelined for the last three games while on IR, the minimum required. The rookie second-round pick has recorded six tackles, one QB hit and one forced fumble across 78 defensive snaps in four games this season.

  • Designated for return

    Gross-Matos (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday.

    Analysis: The second-round rookie landed on injured reserve Oct. 15, and he has sat out each of the Panthers' past three contests as a result. Now having been designated for return, Gross-Matos has a 21-day window to resume practice before the team must either activate him to the 53-man roster or place him on season-ending IR. In four appearances between Weeks 1 and 5, the Penn State product recorded six tackles, one QB hit and one forced fumble on 78 combined defensive snaps.

  • Lands on injured reserve

    Gross-Matos (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Friday.

    Analysis: The rookie second-round pick exited last Sunday's win over the Falcons with the ankle injury and was unable to practice this week, and he'll now miss at least the next three games while on injured reserve. It's unclear if Gross-Matos is expected to be sidelined beyond the three-game minimum. Stephen Weatherly and Marquis Haynes should see increased reps for the Panthers, especially with Brian Burns in the concussion protocol.

  • Ankle keeps him out of practice

    Gross-Matos (ankle) isn't practicing Wednesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The rookie second-rounder continues to be plagued by injuries, as he hurt his ankle last week against the Falcons after already battling an eye injury, concussion and illness this season. Gross-Matos is no stranger to missed practices and will hope to build up his practice participation as the week unfolds ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears.

  • Leaving with ankle injury

    Gross-Matos exited Sunday's game against the Falcons with an ankle injury, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The rookie second-round pick had only one tackle on the day before exiting the contest. Gross-Matos' status for Week 6 should receive more clarity once the Panthers return to practice Wednesday.

  • Gets first sack

    Gross-Matos made three solo tackles and forced a fumble on a sack in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Gross-Matos stripped opposing quarterback Kyler Murray during the third quarter, not only making his first career sack in the process, but also setting up the Panthers for a scoring drive. Although the rookie second-rounder still only played 21 of 57 defensive snaps, his key play Sunday should inspire more confidence going forward.

  • Sheds injury tag

    Gross-Matos (illness) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Gross-Matos logged a DNP/DNP/LP practice slate this week while dealing with an illness, but his availability for Sunday's contest isn't in any danger. The rookie second-round pick is set to draw his usual start at defensive end.

  • Misses practice with illness

    Gross-Matos (illness) didn't practice Wednesday, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gross-Matos has had some tough luck with his health this season, as he has already battled an eye injury and a concussion prior to this illness. Whether he's able to raise his practice participation as the week unfolds should help determine the rookie second-rounder's status for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

  • Good to go Sunday

    Gross-Matos (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will play in Sunday's game versus the Chargers.

    Analysis: Gross-Matos fully participated in practice Thursday and Friday, and he's slated to start Sunday. The rookie second-rounder played only 16 snaps in the season opener. He should start seeing an uptick in reps moving forward as he was a skilled pass rusher at Penn State with 17 sacks and 34.5 tackles for loss over his final two seasons.

  • Expected to play Sunday

    Gross-Matos (concussion) was a full participant during Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Even though Gross-Matos was a full participant, it still doesn't mean that he has cleared the league's concussion protocol. Per Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer, coach Matt Rhule expects Gross-Matos to play Sunday against the Chargers, but in a backup role. Look for Stephen Weatherly or Marquis Haynes to draw the start at defensive end with Gross-Matos still recovering.

  • Ruled out for Week 2

    Gross-Matos (concussion) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gross-Matos will need more time before he's able to fully clear the league's five step-concussion protocol and retake the field. Stephen Weatherly and Marquis Haynes will likely handle increased defensive roles Sunday with Gross-Matos sidelined.

  • In concussion protocol

    Gross-Matos is in the concussion protocol Thursday and will not practice, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gross-Matos took a hit in the eye during Wednesday's practice, per Simmons, and he subsequently developed concussion symptoms. In the event that he fails to clear fully clear the league's five-step concussion protocol in time to suit against the Buccaneers in Week 2, Stephen Weatherly and Marquis Haynes would be in line to handle increased roles.

  • Limited with eye injury

    Gross-Matos (eye) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: It's encouraging that Gross-Matos was at least able to practice in some capacity, though the exact nature of his eye injury is unknown at this time. The rookie pass rusher will hope to make a bigger impact against Tampa Bay in Week 2 after recording only one tackle in his debut last week.
