  • Past knee injury

    Wharton (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: A knee injury limited Wharton's participation in Thursday's practice, but his ability to practice fully puts him on track to play against the 49ers on Monday. The sixth-year pro has accumulated 29 tackles (nine solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one pass defense across seven regular-season games.

  • Limited Thursday

    Wharton (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: The defensive lineman played 86 percent of the defensive snaps last week against Atlanta, so the injury appears to be new. Wharton will have two more days to get on the practice field ahead of Monday's matchup with the 49ers. If he can't go, Bobby Brown might be next man up on the defensive line.

    Wharton recorded seven tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Panthers' win over the Packers on Sunday.

  • Good to go Week 7

    Wharton (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Jets, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Wharton missed the Panthers' last two games due to a toe injury, but he has been cleared to return for Week 7 after being limited in practice all week. His return will likely result in a reduction in snaps at defensive end for A'Shawn Robinson and LaBryan Ray.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Wharton (toe) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jets.

    Analysis: The Missouri S&T product logged three consecutive limited sessions during the Panthers' week of practice, giving himself a chance to suit up Sunday. Wharton has played in just two games this season due to hamstring and toe injuries, recording nine total tackles, including 1.0 sacks. If he's active for the Week 7 contest, he will likely operate as one of the team's top interior pass rushers.

  • Limited to open week

    Wharton (toe) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Wharton has missed four of the Panthers' first six games of the regular season due to lower-body injuries. He's been sidelined for the last two due to a toe injury, but he would put himself in a good position to return for Sunday's game against the Jets if he were to practice in full over the next two days.

    Wharton (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: The first-year Panther didn't practice all week and is now in line to miss his fourth game of the season due to hamstring and toe injuries. Wharton has found success when on the field, recording nine total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, across just 51 defensive snaps this year. LaBryan Ray is expected to continue serving as Carolina's top reserve defensive end until Wharton returns to full health.

  • Opens week with DNP

    Wharton (toe) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Wharton was unable to play in the Panthers' Week 5 win over the Dolphins due to a toe injury. He's opened the week with another DNP, so he'll have two more opportunities to return to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's road game against the Cowboys.

  • Ruled out for Week 5

    Wharton (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Wharton returned from a hamstring injury last Sunday against the Patriots and is now dealing with a toe issue that will cause him to miss his third game of the season. Jaden Crumedy should see elevated defensive snaps against Miami.

  • Now idle with toe injury

    Wharton (toe) was estimated to be a DNP in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.

    Analysis: Wharton previously dealt with a hamstring issue that caused him to miss Weeks 2 and 3 before he returned last Sunday against the Patriots.

  • Good to go for Week 4

    Wharton (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Wharton wasn't able to practice fully at any point this week, but his hamstring issue wasn't deemed serious enough to keep him from suiting up Sunday. The defensive lineman -- who posted a career-high 6.5 sacks with the Chiefs in 2024 over 17 regular-season games -- had missed the Panthers' previous two games with the injury.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Wharton (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Wharton upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to limited sessions Thursday and Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's contest. Prior to sustaining a hamstring injury, the first-year Panther tallied four total tackles across 20 defensive snaps in the team's regular-season opener. If Wharton is unable to return in Week 4, Jaden Crumedy will likely serve as Carolina's top reserve defensive end.

  • Logs limited session Thursday

    Wharton (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old hadn't practiced since sustaining a hamstring injury in Carolina's Week 1 loss to the Jaguars, but his limited participation Thursday suggests a return may be imminent. Head coach Dave Canales told reporters Wharton was expected to miss 2-4 weeks following his injury, making the Week 4 matchup against the Patriots a potential target return date. His participation in Friday's practice will likely provide the best indication of whether he'll be available Sunday.

  • Out again for Week 3

    Wharton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Wharton logged a trio of DNPs this week and will miss his second straight game after he was injured in Carolina's Week 1 loss to the Jaguars. Wharton was initially give a recovery timeline of two-to-four weeks. Jaden Crumedy and Cam Jackson will likely see elevated reps on the defensive line.

  • Missing up to four weeks

    Head coach Dave Canales told reporters Monday that Wharton (hamstring) is expected to miss 2-4 weeks, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Wharton, who signed a three-year, $54 million deal with the Panthers in March, played just 18 defensive snaps before sustaining a hamstring injury in the Week 1 loss to the Jaguars. The first-year Panther made a major impact while on the field, recording four total tackles. This is likely a substantial loss to a new-look Panthers defensive line that allowed a whopping 5.2 yards per carry in 2024 -- the worst mark in the NFL. Expect Jaden Crumedy to see increased work as a rotational defensive…read more

  • Won't return due to hamstring issue

    Wharton has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Jaguars due to a hamstring injury, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Wharton initially left Sunday's game to be evaluated for a concussion, but it's a hamstring injury that will prevent him from returning. It's unclear whether he's passed his concussion evaluation, so his injury status will be worth monitoring heading into the Panthers' Week 2 clash against the Cardinals on Sunday, Sept. 14. In Wharton's absence, Jaden Crumedy should see an uptick in rotational snaps at defensive end.

  • Exits Sunday's game

    Wharton exited Sunday's game against the Jaguars and is being evaluated for a concussion, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Wharton may have taken a hit to the head during the Panthers' first defensive series of the first quarter. Jaden Crumedy would be slated to see an increased number of rotational snaps at defensive end behind A'Shawn Robinson and Derrick Brown if Wharton is not cleared to return.

    Wharton is in line to sign a three-year, $54 million contract with the Panthers, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

    Analysis: Wharton will head to Carolina after spending the first five years of his NFL tenure in Kansas City. He's coming off a strong 2024 campaign in which he logged 29 tackles (18 solo), including a career-high 6.5 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season games. Wharton and Derrick Brown (knee) will serve as the Panthers' key pieces on the defensive front for the 2025 campaign and beyond.

    Analysis: The defensive tackle also played in all 17 regular-season games and in all three of Kansas City's playoff contests. Wharton has played on one-year deals in each of the last two seasons, though he started 12 times in 2024 between the regular season and playoffs, the first season in his career in which he started more than once. The career Chief will be an unrestricted free agent come March.

  • Gets to QB in win

    Wharton recorded three solo tackles, including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: The defensive tackle is now up to 4.5 sacks and 22 total tackles (14 solo) in 2024. He also has two pass breakups and a forced fumble. Though Wharton is a starter, he remains in a rotational role, having yet to play on 80 percent of the defensive snaps in a game this season.

  • Good to go Sunday

    Wharton (knee) is not on the Chiefs' inactive list for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Wharton missed the first two practices of the week due to a knee injury, but he earned the questionable tag after logging a limited session Friday and will play Sunday. Wharton has logged four tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense in the Chiefs' three games since the Week 6 bye.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Wharton (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Wharton upgraded to limited participation Friday after opening Kansas City's week of practice with consecutive DNPs, so he appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday. However, if the 26-year-old is unable to play in Week 10, expect Marlon Tuipulotu to see increased work as one of the Chiefs' top rotational interior defensive linemen.

  • Stays in Kansas City

    Wharton re-signed with the Chiefs on a one-year, $2.75 million contract Thursday, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: Wharton has been a regular on the interior of Kansas City's defensive line in each of the past four seasons since going undrafted out of Missouri S&T. That trend should continue in 2024 for a fifth season after a 2023 campaign that saw him record 21 combined tackles, including 2.0 sacks, on 385 defensive snaps across 17 regular-season contests.

  • Gets in full practice Tuesday

    Wharton was a full participant at practice Tuesday ahead of Thursday's game versus Detroit.

    Analysis: After sustaining a torn ACL last season in Week 5, Wharton has recovered enough that he should play in Week 1 of the 2023 season versus the Lions. Kansas City will need to lean heavily on Wharton to try to slow down Detroit's rushing attack, as it appears 2022 All-Pro Chris Jones is unlikely to be available as he tries to negotiate a contract extension.

  • Practices in limited fashion Monday

    Wharton (knee) was a limited participant at practice Monday.

    Analysis: Wharton is still recovering from an ACL tear he sustained during Week 5 of the 2022 season, but he appears to be on track to play Thursday versus Detroit.

  • Sees field for first time Saturday

    Wharton saw his first playing time of the preseason in Saturday's 33-32 win over the Browns, Pete Sweeney of SB Nation reports.

    Analysis: Wharton missed the two previous bouts as the Chiefs didn't want to rush him back into live game play. Wharton has been recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in Week 5 of the 2022 season. He didn't see much playing time Saturday, but head coach Andy Reid noted that it was good to get Wharton in and to get his "adrenaline knocked off a little bit."

  • Out Sunday

    Wharton (knee) will not play in Sunday's preseason opener in New Orleans, Pete Sweeney and Jared Sapp of arrowheadpride.com reports.

    Analysis: Wharton suffered a season ending ACL tear in Week 5 of the 2022 season and just returned to full participation at practice at the start of camp.

    Wharton (knee) has been activated from the active/PUP list and is practicing with the team Wednesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

    Analysis: Wharton suffered a torn ACL during Week 5 last season and started camp on the PUP list. However, it appears the 25-year-old is fully recovered after being able to pass a physical and is now ready to compete. He should earn a depth role on Kansas City's defensive line.

  • Officially moves to PUP list

    The Chiefs placed Wharton (knee) on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

    Analysis: As expected, Wharton, who tore his ACL in Week 5 last season, won't be cleared to practice to start training camp. However, he'll be eligible to practice and/or play at any point during the preseason whenever the Chiefs deem him ready. If Wharton remains out for the entirety of the preseason, he can be shifted to the reserve/PUP list and not count against the Kansas City roster.

  • Headed for PUP list

    Wharton (knee) will start training camp on the active/PUP list, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The move hasn't been made official yet, but Wharton tore his ACL in Week 5 last season and won't be ready to practice at the beginning of training camp. If he remains out for the duration of preseason work, he can be shifted to the reserve/PUP list and not count against the roster limit. However, if that's the case, he'd be ineligible to suit up for the first four weeks of 2023.

  • Placed on IR

    The Chiefs placed Wharton (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: Wharton suffered a torn ACL during the Chiefs' Week 5 win over the Raiders and is set to miss the remainder of the campaign, so his move to IR was simply transactional. In Wharton's absence, Khalen Saunders and Taylor Stallworth are candidates for increased roles along Kansas City's defensive line behind starters Chris Jones and Derrick Nnadi.

  • Suffers torn ACL

    Chiefs coach Andy Reid said that Wharton suffered a torn ACL during Monday's 30-29 win over the Raiders, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports

    Analysis: Wharton is set to miss the remainder and should undergo surgery to address this injury sustained to one of his knees. The third-year defensive tackle recorded eight tackles and one sack over the first four games of the season, and his absence will leave the interior of Kansas City's defensive line short-handed behind starters Chris Jones and Derrick Nnadi.
