Hello CSR! Welcome to Ask Brian, part one of your weekly Carolina Panthers fan mailbag for everyone! The Panthers are currently in the dead zone of the NFL off-season, however we had our first unfortunate injury news drop in the past days. 2025 priority and high dollar free agent signing, defensive lineman Terk Wharton is “out indefinitely” after unforeseen neck surgery. Dave Canales and the Panthers are being quite vague about the details, but it sounds like his 2026 season is very much up in the air.
Injuries are a foregone conclusion in football, but Terk was expected to be relied upon heavily as part of the defensive line rotation. Now, the selection of DL Lee Hunter in the second round of the draft looks to have been very crucial.
You all know the drill, this is your space to ask all your questions, whether they be Panthers related, football related, or even completely off topic! I’ll have some answers to those questions later on in the week. As a reminder, I reserve the right to not answer any question that I don’t feel is appropriate for this column, but I do my best to try and answer as many as I can. Comment down below, and KEEP POUNDING!
