Takes field Thursday Cherelus suited up for Carolina's 19-10 preseason loss to the Steelers on Thursday, Kassidy Hill and Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site report.

Impact Cherelus played 17 defensive snaps during Thursday's preseason finale, so it looks like he's fully recovered from the groin injury that forced him to sit out Carolina's prior exhibition matchup against Houston. He's expected to contribute on special teams while handling a depth role on defense this season.

Unlikely to play vs. Houston Cherelus (groin) is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Texans, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Cherelus missed the Panthers' preseason opener against the Browns due to a groin injury, and the issue will keep him out of Saturday's contest as well. The third-year inside linebacker is competing for a depth spot on the 53-man roster, and if he doesn't play Saturday, he'll work on being available for Carolina's preseason finale against Pittsburgh on Thursday. Cherelus played in 13 regular-season games for the Panthers in 2024 and logged 28 tackles (13 solo) while splitting his snaps between defense and special teams.

Dealing with groin issue Cherelus left Wednesday's training camp practice with a groin injury, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Cherelus had been participating fully in training camp after spending the last three weeks of last season on injured reserve with a toe injury, but he seems to have suffered another bad stroke of injury luck. As long as he's sidelined, Jacoby Windmon projects to see increased reps at linebacker.

Placed on injured reserve The Panthers placed Cherelus (toe) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Chereles got the Week 15 start in place of an injured Trevin Wallace (shoulder) and played a season-high 73 percent of the Panthers' defensive snaps versus Dallas. However, his season is now done, finishing 2024 with 28 tackles (13 solo) and one QB hit across 158 defensive snaps and another 204 on special teams. Cam Gill appears to be the next man up at linebacker for Carolina after he played 19 defensive snaps to Jon Rhattigan's one against the Cowboys.

Out for season with toe Cherelus sustained a season-ending toe injury during Sunday's game versus the Cowboys, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Cherelus will need surgery to address the injury. He had been operating as Carolina's second starting inside linebacker next to Josey Jewell with Trevin Wallace out, and if Wallace remains sidelined, Cherelus' absence could mean a significant role for Jon Rhattigan in Week 16.

Will start Sunday Cherelus will start Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official website reports.

Impact With Trevin Wallace (shoulder) inactive and Shaq Thompson (Achilles) out for the season, Cherelus will start next to Josey Jewell at inside linebacker. Cherelus has played double-digit snaps only twice this season, totaling eight tackles (four solo) in 91 defensive snaps across those two games.

Will play Week 8 Cherelus (hamstring) is active for Sunday's battle against the Broncos, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Cherelus hurt his hamstring Week 6 against Atlanta and wasn't able to play last Sunday versus Washington. However, he was able to log a trio of limited practices this week and is set to make his return against Denver. Cherelus saw increased opportunities Weeks 5 and 6 with Josey Jewell sidelined, but Jewell is also returning to action Week 8, so Cherelus could go back to working mostly on special teams.

OCTOBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 8 Cherelus (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.

Impact Cherelus was able to log a week of limited practice sessions after missing the Panthers' Week 7 loss to the Commanders due to a hamstring injury. If he's unable to play through the issue Sunday, expect Shaquille Quarterman to see increased reps on the Panthers' first-team defense.

OCTOBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Week 7 Cherelus (hamstring) did not practice Friday and is ruled out for Sunday's game against Washington.

Impact Cherelus hasn't practiced in any capacity since being forced out of Carolina's loss to the Falcons in Week 6. With starter Josey Jewell (hamstring) and depth man Jon Rhattigan (knee) also both ruled out for Sunday's contest, the Panthers' interior linebacker corps will be severely depleted versus the Commanders.

Impact The linebacker made five tackles (three solo) before leaving the game. Cherelus was deemed doubtful to return in the fourth quarter. The backup was playing Sunday because starter Josey Jewell was inactive due to a hamstring injury.

Participating in OTAs Cherelus (knee) was on the field for OTAs on Monday, Joseph Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cherelus was placed on IR on Nov. 3 due to a knee injury, causing him to miss the Panthers' last 10 regular-season games. He played in six games for Carolina in 2023, and he did not record a tackle across 105 snaps on special teams.
