Derrick Brown (knee) will require surgery, out indefinitely

Panthers DL Derrick Brown will undergo knee surgery that will keep him out indefinitely.

Fantasy Impact

The injury could be season-ending, but the Panthers will not know a firm timeline until after Brown undergoes surgery. This is a massive loss for a team and a defense that struggled in Week 1.

Derrick Brown (knee/ankle) will play Sunday

Derrick Brown (knee/ankle) will play in Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact

Brown is dealing with a pair of injuries that initially left him on the team's injury report heading into the day Sunday. Neither of them are more than a minor issue, however, and he will be active and good to go against the Dolphins. His presence in the middle of the defensive line is crucial to Carolina slowing down what is a potent Dolphins' running game.

Derrick Brown: Panthers pick up fifth-year option

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Carolina Panthers are picking up DT Derrick Brown’s fifth-year option, making his fifth year fully guaranteed.

Fantasy Impact

Brown was a top pick in 2020 but was drafted by a different general manager than the Panthers have now. With a new coaching staff coming in for the 2023 season, it’s a show of confidence in Brown’s ability that they accepted his option. Brown has six sacks and 21 tackles for loss in three seasons and had a personal-best mark of 67 tackles last season in Carolina.

Derrick Brown agrees to four-year, $23.6M deal with the Panthers

DT Derrick Brown, the 7th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, has agreed to a four-year, $23.621M fully guaranteed deal with the Carolina Panthers.

Fantasy Impact

The former Auburn Tiger becomes the first player selected in the first round of the Draft to officially agree to terms on a deal. Brown was touted as the most complete defensive lineman in this year’s draft class, and he’ll look to prove it with the Panthers starting in 2020. He finished his four-year college career with 166 tackles and 12 sacks.
