Disappoints in Carolina Clowney recorded 46 total tackles, including 5.5 sacks, and four passes defended over 14 games in 2024.

Impact The 2014 first-round pick from South Carolina signed a two-year, $20 million deal with the Panthers this past offseason after tying his career high in sacks (9.5) in 2023 with the Ravens. Clowney was brought in to help bolster a struggling Panthers pass rush that ranked dead last in the NFL in sacks (27.0) in 2023, but his first season in Carolina did not go as planned. The 31-year-old posted the lowest sack total of his career in any season in which he appeared in 14 or more games, while the Panthers' defense once again ranked among the NFL's bottom four teams in sacks (32.0). Clowney is expected to benefit from the return of fellow edge rusher D.J. Wonnum, who missed nine games in 2024, potentially making his job a bit easier heading into the 2025 season.

Good to go against Tampa Bay Clowney (knee/elbow) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Clowney was given the questionable tag for Sunday's NFC South clash after logging a FP/DNP/LP practice report this week due to elbow and knee injuries. The veteran edge rusher has progressed enough in his recovery to play Sunday, and he will start opposite D.J. Wonnum while Cam Gill and DJ Johnson provide backup support.

Playing against Arizona Clowney (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Clowney logged a DNP/LP/FP practice report this past week as he worked through a knee injury, and he's done enough to suit up Sunday. He's logged nine tackles (seven solo), including 2.5 sacks, and two pass defenses over his last three regular-season games.

Listed as questionable Clowney (illness/knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals.

Impact Clowney upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to a full practice session Friday, suggesting that he's trending toward playing in the Week 16 contest. The first-year Panther has been underwhelming this season, recording 36 total tackles, including 3.5 sacks, and three passes defended over 11 games. If he's unable to suit up Sunday, expect DJ Johnson to serve as one of Carolina's top edge rushers.

Returns to practice Thursday Clowney (illness/knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Clowney was sidelined for the Panthers' first official practice of the week Wednesday due to a knee injury and illness. He appears to be progressing on both fronts, as reflected by his return to practice Thursday (albeit in a limited capacity). Unless he suffers a setback and misses Friday's practice, Clowney should be able to suit up against the Cardinals on Sunday. The 2014 first-overall pick has logged 36 tackles (21 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and three pass defenses across 11 regular-season games.

Impact The 2014 first-round pick played through his knee injury in the Panthers' Week 15 loss to the Cowboys, recording three total tackles and two passes defended across 25 defensive snaps. Unless his injury worsened Sunday, Clowney's DNP is likely due to an illness. He'll likely need to upgrade to at least limited practice participation Thursday or Friday to play in Carolina's Week 16 matchup against the Cardinals.

Impact Clowney has now logged back-to-back full practices after having sat out Wednesday's session with rest/knee designations.
