The Carolina Panthers may be without a starting defender for at least some of the 2026 season.

According to Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer, defensive lineman Tershawn Wharton recently underwent neck surgery and is expected to begin the summer on the physically unable to perform list. Per Kaye, Wharton may still play at some point this upcoming campaign.

After losing out on former Philadelphia Eagle and current New England Patriot Milton Williams in free agency last spring, the Panthers pivoted and signed Wharton to a three-year, $45 million deal. He spent his first five seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, making 22 starts over 81 career regular-season contests.

Wharton’s first campaign in Carolina was marred by injury, as he missed eight of their 18 games due to hamstring and toe issues. He ended up starting in each of his 10 outings, recording 38 combined tackles and a pair of sacks.

Outside of Wharton, the Panthers’ depth chart along the defensive line includes Pro Bowler Derrick Brown, 2026 second-round pick Lee Hunter, fellow 2024 free-agent signee Bobby Brown III, Cam Jackson, LaBryan Ray and Jared Harrison-Hunte.

CHARLOTTE — The Panthers are filling out their rookie class with 11 undrafted free agents.

General manager Dan Morgan and the personnel department have found gems here in recent years, including Jalen Coker, Corey Thornton, and Ryan Fitzgerald. This offseason, the group includes an ACC player of the year, two Canadians, a couple of Bryce Young connections, and more.

Get to know the new faces with one quick fact about each guy.

QB Haynes King, Georgia Tech

King first made a name for himself as a Texas high school football star. He spent three years at Texas A&M to start his career before transferring to Georgia Tech and dominating, particularly in 2025. King finished his sixth season as the ACC player of the year with nearly 3,000 passing yards, and just shy of 1,000 rushing yards, and 29 total touchdowns.

2025 stats: 252-361 passing, 2,951 passing yards, 14 touchdowns, 6 interceptions, 185 rushes, 953 rushing yards, 15 rushing touchdowns

OLB Isaiah Smith, SMU

Smith spent all four years at SMU and worked his way up the boards as one of the best statistical defenders in the ACC by his senior season. He was named to the Phil Steele All-American Honorable Mention after leading the ACC with 18 tackles for loss.

2025 stats: 53 tackles, 18 for loss, 8.5 sacks, 1 pass defensed, 1 forced fumble

DT Aaron Hall, Duke

Hall is a native of Durham, N.C. He was voted team captain for the Blue Devils in both 2024 and 2025. As a North Carolina product, Hall grew up a Panthers and Packers fan, but credits the Cam Newton years for fanning the flame of his Carolina fandom.

2025 stats: 44 tackles, 2.5 sacks

CB Jaylon Guilbeau, Texas

The Texas corner spent four years in Austin playing for the Longhorns. He crossed over with current Panthers teammates Jonathon Brooks and Ja'Tavion Sanders. Guilbeau has a daughter who will turn 1 this summer. In his spare time, he likes to ride walking horses.

2025 stats: 40 tackles, 1 interception, 3 passes defensed

OT Isaia Glass, Vanderbilt

While in college (at Arizona State, Oklahoma State, and Vanderbilt), Glass played both left and right tackle, sometimes switching during the game based on the play call. The big man also parlayed his play into a pancake sponsorship with Cracker Barrel.

2025 stats: 3.0 sacks allowed, 6 hits allowed

WR Malick Meiga, Coastal Carolina

Meiga played the latter half of his college career in the Carolinas (he started at Penn State), but he calls Canada his home. The Montreal native was also drafted by the Hamilton Tigercats in the Canadian Football League this draft season. He posted an RAS score of 9.6.

2025 stats: 19 receptions, 209 yards, 1 TD

*Meiga is not yet signed and was unable to participate in rookie minicamp, but he is expected to be here this week.

CB Cam Miller, Rutgers

Miller, who played three years at Penn State and one year at Rutgers, finished his collegiate career having played in 49 consecutive games and was a three-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree. He led Rutgers with seven passes defensed. He also scored a special teams touchdown in college.

2025 stats: 44 tackles, 1.0 sack, 5 passes defensed, 1 interception

DT Parker Petersen, Wisconsin

Petersen began his career at Tulane, immersing himself in New Orleans culture, before closing out his final season at Wisconsin. Petersen was also a high school wrestler and a two-time Tennessee state finalist.

2025 stats: 15 tackles…2024: 21 tackles, 2.5 sacks

OT Albert Reese IV, Mississippi State

Reese brings the Canadian count on the Panthers roster up to four. He's an Edmonton native, like Chuba Hubbard but came to Florida for high school. Reese is also an avid fisherman and even runs his own Instagram page dedicated to his fishing exploits.

2025 stats: 4.0 sacks allowed, 1 hit, 13 hurries

WR Kobe Prentice, Baylor

Prentice began his career at Alabama, playing with quarterback Bryce Young. In that 2022 season together, the two connected for 31 receptions, 337 yards, and 2 touchdowns. Prentice became famous at Baylor for his touchdown dances.

2025 stats: 26 receptions, 380 yards, 6 touchdowns

CB Devonta Smith, Notre Dame

Smith also crossed over with Young at Alabama, playing on the opposite side of the ball as a test for the QB during his Heisman season. He transferred to Notre Dame for his final year, making five starts.

https://www.panthers.com/news/panthers-s...s-brazzell

CHARLOTTE — The Panthers signed six of their seven draft picks on Thursday, on the eve of rookie minicamp.

They signed tackle Monroe Freeling, wide receiver Chris Brazzell II, cornerback Will Lee III, center Sam Hecht, safety Zakee Wheatley and linebacker Jackson Kuwatch to their rookie deals.

The only one still unsigned is second-round defensive tackle Lee Hunter, but that's not unexpected.

Second-round picks have been among the last to sign league-wide in recent years.

Last summer, they signed six of their eight picks on May 8, another on May 13, but second-round outside linebacker Nic Scourton's deal was agreed to on July 19, before the start of training camp.

All draft picks sign standard four-year deals, but they'll have an option for the fifth year on Freeling's, which can be picked up after his third season. They're also signing 10 undrafted rookies on Thursday.

To make room for the picks on the roster, the Panthers waived linebacker Jacoby Windmon, who has been here for parts of the last two seasons.

They get an international player roster exemption for linebacker Mapalo Mwansa, a native of England who was here on the practice squad last season. That allows them to carry 91 through the offseason.]]> Worship

The signings add to the 2026 rookie class and come ahead of rookie minicamp, scheduled to begin on Friday.

The 10 signings are:

QB Haynes King, Georgia Tech
CB Jaylon Guilbeau, Texas
DT Aaron Hall, Duke
OT Isaia Glass, Vanderbilt
CB Cam Miller, Rutgers
DT Parker Peterson, Wisconsin
WR Kobe Prentice, Baylor
OT Albert Reese, Mississippi State
CB Devonta Smith, Notre Dame
OLB Isaiah Smith, SMU

Coastal Carolina wide receiver Malick Meiga is expected to be here and sign next week.

The group will join the seven drafted players for rookie minicamp this weekend. It's set to take place on Friday and Saturday in Charlotte.]]> https://www.panthers.com/news/panthers-s...aynes-king
