Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reported that the team plans to have workouts with veteran pass rushers Yannick Ngakoue and Carl Lawson this week. This update follows the news of the Panthers placing D.J. Wonnum (quad) and Amaré Barno (knee) on the active/physically unable to perform list at the beginning of training camp.
Ngakoue entered the NFL in 2016 as a third-round pick for the Jacksonville Jaguars while Todd Wash, the current Panthers defensive line coach, was the defensive coordinator there. During his time in Jacksonville, Ngakoue achieved notable success, earning a Pro Bowl nod in 2017 and accumulating 37.5 sacks, 14 forced fumbles, and two interceptions.
Since then, Ngakoue has played for five different teams in the following four seasons, including the Minnesota Vikings, Baltimore Ravens, Las Vegas Raiders, Indianapolis Colts, and Chicago Bears.
