The Carolina Panthers have been busy stocking the shelf on Tuesday.
According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the team is set to place outside linebacker Amaré Barno on the reserve/physically unable to perform list—joining fellow outside linebacker D.J. Wonnum. The Panthers are also reportedly putting rookie running back Jonathon Brooks on the non-football injury list to start the regular season.
Barno was moved to injured reserve in December after sustaining a knee injury at the end of the 2023 campaign. He, like Wonnum, has spent the entire offseason recovering from the setback—having yet to fully participate in a practice this year.
Carolina selected Barno in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL draft. The speedy Virginia tech product has gone on to appear in 24 games since, amassing 30 total tackles and 2.0 sacks with one start.
The 25-year-old will now have to miss at least the first four games of the 2024 season.
