Hoping to drill during camp Brown (knee) should be ready to participate in drills during training camp on a limited basis, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Brown said in April that he'd be ready for the start of the regular season, per David Newton of ESPN.com. The defensive end only played in one game in 2024 due to a meniscus issue, but in 2023 he recorded 103 tackles (57 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and six pass breakups, including an interception. The 2020 first-round pick started 63 of 66 regular-season games across his first four seasons, and then he earned a four-year, $96-million extension ahead of the 2024 campaign.

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.

Impact 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.

Panthers DT Derrick Brown sidelined with season-ending knee injury

Panthers star DT Derrick Brown is headed to season-ending IR due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 1.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2024 • FOX SPORTS

Goes on IR Carolina placed Brown (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact 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, but a recovery timeline won't be established until doctors determine whether he requires a partial meniscectomy or a full repair of the meniscus. The latter surgery would spell an end to Brown's season, while a partial meniscectomy requires a shorter recovery timeline. The move to IR at least ensures that Brown won't play in any of the Panthers' next four games, making a Week 6 matchup with the Falcons on Oct. 13 his earliest possible return date.

Panthers Pro Bowl DE Derrick Brown to have knee surgery, could miss rest of season, AP source says

A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that Carolina Panthers Pro Bowl defensive end Derrick Brown will need surgery on his knee and could miss the remainde...

SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 • Associated Press

Expected to undergo knee surgery Brown (knee) is feared to have suffered potentially a season-ending meniscus injury during Sunday's 47-10 loss to the Saints, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact 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, no player is more invaluable to Carolina's defensive front than Brown, who inked a four-year, $96 million contract extension with the team this offseason. Pelissero reports that Brown will require knee surgery to address the severity of his meniscus issue, after which a full recovery timetable will be discerned. It sounds like only a matter of time before the Panthers rule Brown out versus the Chargers in Week 2, though, which could thrust Jayden Peevy and LaBryan Ray into expanded roles.

Why Panthers extended DT Derrick Brown after overhauling their defense

Carolina locks up its 2020 first-round pick through 2028, keeping a key presence on the defensive front after several losses this offseason.

APRIL 5, 2024 • FOX SPORTS

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

Impact 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 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, which represents a key move for the unit, which no longer includes Brian Burns, who was traded to the Giants last month.
