Availability
Devin Lloyd (calf) practiced in a full capacity on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
The veteran linebacker missed last week's game due to a calf injury, but it looks like a return to the lineup is near for him, as he was able to practice in full at the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. His potential return in Week 4 would be perfect timing ahead of a tough matchup against the Lions.
Devin Lloyd (calf) did not take part in Friday's practice session.
Fantasy Impact
Lloyd has been missing from practice all week long, leaving his status very much in doubt for Week 3. Jackson Kuwatch would likely see increased snaps if Lloyd sits.
Devin Lloyd (calf) missed another practice session on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
The veteran linebacker has been out for two-straight practices to start the week. His calf injury seems to be a real problem for him and could leave him sidelined against the Browns this week. If that's the case, Carolina's defense will be weaker than usual due to his absence.
Devin Lloyd (calf) did not take part in Carolina's practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Lloyd was not able to practice on Wednesday due to a calf injury. He was a key player for the Panthers in their Week 2 blowout win over the Falcons, so it would be less than ideal for the team if he has to miss any time.
Free agent linebacker Devin Lloyd has agreed to a three-year deal with the Carolina Panthers. The contract is worth $45 million with $25 million fully guaranteed. The contract currently makes him the fourth-highest paid player at his position in the league.
Fantasy Impact
Lloyd has been linked to the Panthers for the past few days and Carolina made the signing official on Monday night. It's a big loss for the Jaguars as Lloyd earned All-Pro Second Team honors and a nod to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career in 2025. He finished with 81 tackles, which was a career-low, but did have six tackles for a loss, 1.5 sacks, and a career-high five interceptions - one of which he returned 99 yards for a touchdown. He allowed just a 57.1 passer rating when targeted, and was credited with 28 pressures - the third most among off-ball linebackers. Lloyd was on the field for at least 15 games in each of his four seasons in Jacksonville and recorded at least 100 stops in his first three campaigns. Lloyd will immediately step into the starting lineup for the Panthers and should return to the century mark in tackles.
