Full practice participant Wednesday Hunt (biceps) practiced in full Wednesday.

Impact Hunt is strung together consecutive full practices and is trending in the right direction in his recovery from a torn biceps that he sustained in mid-September. He would need to be activated from injured reserve in order to play in Saturday's NFC wild-card game against the Rams. Hunt could reclaim his starting job at right guard if he's activated from IR, which would likely result in Austin Corbett moving to a reserve role.

Won't return Saturday Hunt (biceps) has been downgraded and ruled out ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Despite practicing in full Tuesday and Wednesday, Hunt will remain on the Panthers' injured reserve list through the Week 18 contest. However, if Carolina wins the NFC South, the 29-year-old offensive lineman could return for the team's wild-card matchup. While Hunt remains sidelined Saturday, expect Austin Corbett to start at right guard.

Returning for Week 18? Hunt (biceps) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Buccaneers.

Impact The 29-year-old practiced in full Tuesday and Wednesday but must still be activated to the Panthers' active roster in order to play in Saturday's divisional matchup, a game that could decide the winner of the NFC South. Hunt made the Pro Bowl in 2024 and would be a huge addition to Carolina's offensive line, operating as the team's top right guard if active for the Week 18 contest.

Logs full practice Wednesday Hunt (biceps) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.

Impact Hunt remains on IR, where he has been since tearing his biceps in mid-September. The veteran offensive lineman had his practice window opened Dec. 24 and was able to log a trio of limited practices last week, but he ultimately wasn't activated ahead of Sunday's loss to Seattle. Hunt was estimated as a full participant in Tuesday's walkthrough this week, and with a full padded practice under his belt Wednesday, he seems to be trending toward a return Saturday versus Tampa Bay for a game with major playoff implications.

Full participant in walk-through Hunt (biceps) was estimated to be a full participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Hunt was a limited participant throughout Week 17 and ended up unable to play in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. The upgrade to full participation to start Week 18 bodes well for the offensive guard, and his status for Saturday's divisional clash with the Buccaneers will likely depend on his participation level in the Panthers' next two practices. If Hunt is unable to return from injured reserve for the contest, expect Austin Corbett to continue to start at right guard.

Remains on IR Hunt (biceps) has downgraded and been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact The 29-year-old from Louisiana was originally listed as questionable after logging a week of limited practice sessions, but he'll remain on IR through the Week 17 matchup. With Hunt out Sunday, expect Austin Corbett to remain Carolina's top right guard.

DECEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Week 17 Hunt (biceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Impact Hunt would need to be activated from injured reserve Saturday in order to be available to play in Sunday's home contest. Austin Corbett would continue to start at right guard if Hunt remains on IR.

Limited to open week Hunt (biceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Hunt is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn biceps that he suffered in Week 2 against the Cardinals. He was limited in his first practice since September, and he would likely have to log consecutive limited practices before being cleared to return. Sunday's game against the Seahawks may be too soon for him to return, so Week 18 against the Buccaneers would be his next chance to play if he's ruled out for Week 17.

Designated for return from IR Carolina designated Hunt (biceps) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Hunt can now practice for the first time since he tore his biceps Week 2 against Arizona. The veteran offensive guard is technically eligible to be activated any time and could return to game action as soon as Sunday against Seattle, though that's unlikely to happen since coach Dave Canales has said that Hunt will need some time to ramp back up following his long absence, per Gantt. If Hunt is able to play again this season, it would be a big boost to the Panthers' offensive line considering that he's coming off a Pro Bowl 2024 campaign.
