Panthers Unveil Updated Depth Chart for 2025 Week 13
Injuries are reshaping the Carolina Panthers’ lineup as they prepare for Week 13 of the 2025 season. Coach Dave Canales updated reporters on the team’s situation earlier this week.
Key Player Injuries
The most critical injury concerns cornerback Corey Thornton. Following a recent game, Coach Canales confirmed that Thornton will undergo season-ending surgery due to a broken fibula. This injury comes after stepping in for Jaycee Horn, who left a previous matchup with a concussion.
Linebacker Situation
Linebacker Claudin Cherelus has been starting in place of the injured Trevin Wallace for two consecutive weeks. Unfortunately, Cherelus also suffered a concussion during the latest game, placing him alongside Horn in the concussion protocol. Meanwhile, Wallace is still categorized as week-to-week and is expected to remain the primary inside linebacker.
Roster Adjustments
- Krys Barnes has been promoted from the practice squad for the 49ers game.
- This elevation marks the third time this season that Barnes has been called up.
- For Barnes to remain part of the roster, a move to the 53-man squad is required, which Coach Canales noted is under consideration.
Offensive Line Concerns
The offensive line is also facing challenges. Chandler Zavala exited with a calf injury, leaving additional uncertainty in the lineup. Jake Curhan stepped in to play right guard and completed the game.
As the Panthers continue to evaluate their players’ statuses, fans remain hopeful for a swift recovery among the injured. The team is closely monitoring these developments as they prepare for their upcoming match. Expect further updates later in the week as the situation evolves.
