The Panthers and Saints will face off for the second time this season. Carolina is looking to avenge a Week 10 loss and push into the playoffs, against a Saints team getting stronger.

The Panthers safety finished his suspension as Carolina rolled into the bye week, creating a unique two weeks away for one of the pillars of their defense. Now he's back and ready to get to work.

A late bye week gave the Panthers a chance to rest and relax. It also gave them an opportunity to watch two of their next three opponents, the Saints and Bucs, from their home televisions.

Derrick Brown, Tetairoa McMillan, Rico Dowdle, Tre'von Moehrig, and JJ Jansen are among the top 10 at their positions in fan voting this week.

The Panthers got a bonus Monday practice in after their bye weekend off, which allowed them to shift back into their normal mode as they look for consistency down the stretch.

The Panthers are going into the final four weeks of the regular season tied for first in the NFC South. Which means, there's a lot to play for. And it starts this week with the Saints.

The Panthers defensive tackle was coming off a record-breaking season when a knee injury ended his 2024 after one game. But now he's back, and maybe better than ever.

The cornerback played in last week's win over the Rams, his first game after being promoted from the practice squad.

The Panthers offensive lineman will play any position, and he'll take part in any community activity. Because for him, being part of a team and part of a community is the highest calling.

While Wonnum hasn't registered a sack this season, coaches and teammates know he has been in the right place at the right time, over and over, to help set up a defense that is allowing for sacks from all over the field.
