The Carolina Panthers front office is busy throughout the season with transactions, roster moves, and injury updates. Here’s what’s happening at Mint Street this week.
The Panthers injury report is pretty clean this week. The most notable player listed as “out” is guard Chandler Zavala with an elbow injury. His absence will continue the carousel of new faces along the Panthers offensive line.
Two wide receivers are showing as questionable in rookie sensation Tetairoa McMillan and second-year free agent Brycen Tremayne. McMillan popped up unexpectedly on the injury report on Friday as a limited participant in practice, so here’s to hoping it’s nothing serious and he can take the field against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Tremayne has 10 receptions on 13 targets this year for 116 yards, making him a more integral part of the offense than most Panthers fans realize.
It was a pretty quiet week on the transactions front as well. Carolina’s front office must be out enjoying North Carolina’s beautiful Fall weather because they haven’t pulled the trigger on any roster moves since before last Sunday’s game. That said, there were a couple of moves made last Saturday, November 1st that happened after our weekly Injury & Transactions article was posted. Here’s what happened last Saturday, the day before the Panthers beat the Green Bay Packers.
Released RB DeeJay Dallas (Nov. 1st)
Dallas was a fourth round pick back in 2020 by the Seattle Seahawks. In four seasons with the Seahawks he rushed 112 time for 468 yards (a healthy 4.2 yards per carry) with four touchdowns. Dallas was equally effective as a receiver out of the backfield for the Seahawks with 61 receptions for 396 yards and another score. He spent 2024 with the Arizona Cardinals, appearing in all 17 games with nine carries for 49 yards plus an additional three receptions for 11 yards.
He joined Carolina’s practice squad back in August. He appeared in two games for the Panthers with one carry for zero yards. It wouldn’t be all that surprising to see DeeJay bounce around Carolina’s practice squad, active roster, and the waiver wire for the remainder of the season.
Activated OLB Jeremiah Moon from the practice squad (Nov 1st)
Moon is a third-year journeyman having spent his first season in 2023 with the Baltimore Ravens and 2024 with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Panthers signed him to the practice squad on October 21st and activated him for last Sunday’s game against the Packers. Moon played six special teams snaps last week but didn’t record any stats.
