The Panthers have signed DJ Chark to be their deep, downfield threat. Historically, Chark has been very, VERY good at delivering receiving yardage. His career average is 14.4 YPC. That is a VERY significant number. Unusually high, especially for a relatively young WR with a career marred by injury. The Panthers will be extremely pleased if Chark can continue his downfield assault with anything close to those numbers.
Frank Reich is very 'high' on Chark, as apparently he has been monitoring the WR's play and success since he broke into the league. He is very hopeful that Chark will continue making plays and improve here at Carolina. Chark is recovering from ankle surgery, but is expected to be available for the preseason as well as some of the early OTA stuff (hopefully..). No official word on the surgery, but the hope is that it will help keep him on the field. Chark has missed 19 games over the last two years, primarily because of ankle injuries. He suffered a broken ankle in 2021, then re-injured the same ankle last year. The surgery will hopefully stabilize the ankle and improve his game-day readiness.
