Minimal output in 2025 Renfrow caught 15 of 26 targets for 89 yards and two touchdowns across six regular-season games in 2025.

Impact The 30-year-old wideout joined the Panthers on a one-year deal in late August after taking a break from football in 2024. Renfrow appeared poised to play a significant role early in the season, catching nine of 15 targets for 59 yards and two touchdowns over Carolina's first two games. However, he became a healthy scratch for each game following the Week 6 win over the Cowboys, as Jalen Coker returned from injury and rookie Jimmy Horn emerged as a key depth option. Renfrow was dropped by the Panthers in early January and will not be a part of the team's playoff campaign. If he finds work elsewhere for the 2026 NFL season, he'll likely remain in a reserve role.

Loses roster spot The Panthers waived Renfrow on Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Impact After sitting out the 2024 season, Renfrow joined the Panthers on a one-year deal during the offseason and was able to secure a spot on the roster coming out of the preseason. The veteran slot receiver saw plenty of involvement early in the season with a 15-89-2 receiving line on 26 targets through the Panthers' first six games, but he was a healthy inactive from Week 7 onward after Carolina got Jalen Coker back from injured reserve. Renfrow will now lose his spot on the roster in advance of the Panthers' wild-card game Saturday versus the Rams with Carolina opting to activate wideout David Moore (elbow) from IR in a corresponding move.

Healthy scratch for Week 18 Renfrow (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Renfrow continues his streak of healthy scratches. The Panthers will roll out Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker, Xavier Legette, Jimmy Horn and Brycen Tremayne for the Week 18 divisional matchup, leaving Renfrow as the odd man out once again.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Week 17 Renfrow (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Seattle, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Renfrow has not appeared in a regular-season games since Week 6 against the Cowboys, with his absence coinciding with the return of Jalen Coker from injured reserve. Renfrow's next chance to play is Week 18 against the Buccaneers, though he's unlikely to be active for that contest unless the Panthers suffer an injury to their wide receiver corps.

DECEMBER 28, 2025 • Associated Press

Healthy scratch again Renfrow (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Impact Renfrow will be a healthy scratch yet again, a designation he has held since Week 7. It seems that the only chance the wide receiver might have to suit up this season will be if the Panthers' receiving depth is weakened by injuries.

DECEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy scratch Week 15 Renfrow (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Renfrow will be a healthy inactive once again Sunday, and he has not played since Week 6 against the Cowboys. Renfrow's next chance to play is Week 16 against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Dec. 21, though he's unlikely to play in that game unless the Panthers require an extra wide receiver.

DECEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Another week as healthy scratch Renfrow (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 13 contest against the Rams, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Renfrow appears to be the odd man out in Carolina's WR room, as he's now been a healthy scratch seven straight weeks. The rest of the Panthers' wideout corps is healthy (aside from David Moore (elbow), who is on IR), so Renfrow may continue to sit on game days unless an injury occurs to a player further up the pecking order.

NOVEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out Week 12 Renfrow (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's contest against the 49ers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official website reports.

Impact Renfrow will once again be healthy scratch in Week 12, marking the sixth consecutive contest that that's been the case. The wide receiver appears to be more valuable from a leadership perspective with Carolina than he is for on the field production in 2025.

NOVEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive again Week 11 Renfrow (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact This marks the fifth straight week that Renfrow is inactive as a healthy scratch. While the veteran wideout has had a few nice moments when active this season, it's clear that Carolina is prioritizing developing its young wideouts even as the team has an outside chance at claiming a playoff spot.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy scratch Sunday Renfrow (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact The wide receiver is now a healthy scratch for the fourth consecutive week as Carolina continues to ride a receiving corps led by Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker. Renfrow has 15 catches for 89 yards and two scores in six games this season.

NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive for Week 9 Renfrow (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Renfrow will be a healthy scratch for a third consecutive week as the Panthers go with five active wide receivers for Week 9, a group headlined by Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker. Renfrow's next opportunity to play is Week 10 against the Saints on Sunday, Nov. 9.

NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy scratch again Renfrow (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills, Darin Gantt of the Panther's official site reports.

Impact Renfrow will be a healthy scratch for a second-straight week, which coincides with the return of Jalen Coker from injured reserve. Coker will join Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Jimmy Horn and Brycen Tremayne as Carolina's active wide receivers for Sunday's home game against Buffalo. Renfrow's next opportunity to play will be Week 9 against the Packers on Sunday, Nov. 2.

OCTOBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive Sunday Renfrow is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact With Jalen Coker back from IR, Renfrow is the odd man out in Carolina's Week 7 WR corps. Also in the mix at the position Sunday are Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Brycen Tremayne and Jimmy Horn.

Crucial catch vs. Dallas Renfrow caught one of two targets for seven yards during Sunday's 30-27 win over the Cowboys.

Impact Although Renfrow underwhelmed again in the Week 6 win, his only catch came on a crucial fourth-down conversion late in the fourth quarter that helped set up the Panthers' game-winning field goal. The veteran wideout from Clemson has now caught just four of seven targets for 24 yards over Carolina's last three games, and his role is expected to diminish even further once Jalen Coker (quadriceps) returns from injured reserve.

Another quiet outing Renfrow caught one of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Dolphins.

Impact Renfrow logged 28 offensive snaps in Sunday's contest, operating as the team's No. 3 wideout behind Tetairoa McMillan (58) and Xavier Legette (51). However, he heavily involved in the offense, finishing with fewer yards than both Jimmy Horn (31 total yards) and Brycen Tremayne (nine yards). Renfrow has now caught just five of nine targets over the past three games, suggesting his role in the Panthers' offense has diminished. He's likely to continue playing a reserve role in Carolina's wide-receiver corps in the Week 6 matchup against the Cowboys.

Just two catches vs. New England Renfrow caught both of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 42-13 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Renforw has been held in check over the Panthers' last two contests, catching four of his six targets for just 16 yards. This is particularly concerning because Carolina is currently without two of its top wideouts in Jalen Coker (quadriceps) and Xavier Legette (hamstring). Additionally, Renfrow (32 snaps) played fewer offensive snaps than Brycen Tremayne (53 snaps), suggesting he's operating as the Panthers' No. 3 wide receiver even with all the injuries. His role in Carolina's offense seems to have diminished, and he'll likely play another depth role in the Week 4 matchup against the Dolphins.
