Good to go Sunday
Wonnum (quadricep) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants in Munich, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: He'll be suiting up for the first time this season in what will be his Panthers debut after he joined the team this offseason on a two-year, $12.5 million contract. Considering that Wonnum wasn't a full participant in practice at any point this week and is making his return from December 2023 surgery on his left quad, the Panthers could monitor his workload closely Sunday. The edge rusher tied his career high with eight sacks and recorded 62 tackles, six pass breakups and one fumble recovery…read more

Officially questionable for Sunday
Wonnum (quadriceps) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints.
Analysis: Despite Wonnum's questionable designation, head coach Dave Canales told reporters Friday that he doesn't expect the first-year Panther to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup, per Steve Reed of the Associated Press. Wonnum was able to practice in full all week but has still yet to be activated to Carolina's active roster after his 21-day practice window opened Oct. 23.

Analysis: Wonnum opened the regular season on the Panthers' reserve/PUP while recovering from left quadriceps surgery that he underwent in December 2023. His 21-day practice window opened Oct. 23, and the 2020 fourth-round pick has logged consecutive full practices to open the week.

Won't return Sunday
Wonnum (quadriceps) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.
Analysis: The first-year Panther has yet to play this season due to a quadriceps injury sustained at the end of his 2023 campaign in Minnesota. However, Wonnum was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday, suggesting he could return as soon as Week 9. He must still be activated to the Panthers' active roster to be eligible to play next week. Expect Charles Harris to continue serving as one of Carolina's top edge rushers until Wonnum returns.

Downgrades to DNP on Thursday
Wonnum (quadriceps) was listed as a DNP on the Panthers' injury report Thursday.
Analysis: Wonnum has been on the Panthers' reserve/PUP list since the end of training camp while recovering from offseason surgery on his left quadriceps. The 2020 fourth-round pick has been making progress in his recovery and was able to return to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday. His DNP on Thursday could just be out of precaution rather than a setback, and even if he were to return to practice Friday, it wouldn't guarantee he would be ready to play against the Broncos on Sunday.

Back at practice
Wonnum (quadriceps) participated at practice Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Wonnum missed Carolina's first seven games of the season after undergoing surgery in the offseason, but it now seems like he's close to suiting back up ahead of Week 8. He's expected to start at outside linebacker once he's ready to play again.

Not ready to practice
Head coach Dave Canales said Monday that Wonnum (quadricep) still has to complete the "last stage" of his recovery before returning to practice, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.
Analysis: Wonnum has yet to play this season due to a left quad injury that he sustained in late December that required surgery. While Canales noted that Wonnum is coming along in his recovery, the edge rusher looks like he'll remain limited to rehab work this week rather than practicing.

Not ready yet to return
Wonnum (quadriceps) will remain on the reserve/PUP list this week, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.
Analysis: Wonnum is eligible to be designated to return after missing the minimum four games, but it's apparent he isn't quite healthy enough to do so yet. Quick notes that the South Carolina product is in the "final stages" of returning but has a couple of hurdles to clear before doing so.

Still not recovered
Wonnum has been dealing with some complications from his quadriceps surgery this offseason, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Still sidelined
Wonnum (quadriceps) isn't participating in voluntary workouts Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Wonnum is still on the mend after surgery to repair his quadriceps, which he injured during Week 16 of last season.

Inks deal with Carolina
The Panthers signed Wonnum (quadriceps) to a two-year deal Thursday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Wonnum was forced to miss the end of the Vikings' 2023 campaign due to a quadriceps injury, but it now seems as if he's moved past the issue. The 26-year-old edge rusher is coming off the most productive season of his career, appearing in 15 games and recording 62 total tackles, including 8.0 sacks, while also defending six passes. With the departure of Brian Burns this offseason, Wonnum has a chance to serve as the Panthers' top pass rusher in 2024.

Analysis: The linebacker tore his quad during the Vikings' Week 16 loss to the Lions and is out for the season. In 15 games in 2023, the fourth-year pro set or matched career highs in tackles (62), sacks (eight) and passes defensed (six). Wonnum will become a free agent in March.

Placed on injured reserve
The Vikings placed Wonnum (quad) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: The fourth-year edge rusher tore his quad in the Week 16 loss to the Lions and is obviously done for the season. Wonnum was having a breakout season under first-year DC Brian Flores, playing a career-best 83 percent of the defensive snaps and matching his previous career high with eight sacks.

Out for season
Head coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed that Wonnum will miss the rest of the season after tearing his left quadricep tendon in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Lions, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The 26-year-old linebacker had appeared in all 15 of Minnesota's games before sustaining the quadriceps injury. He'll undergo surgery in the near future and will conclude his 2023 campaign with 62 total tackles, eight sacks, six pass breakups, one fumble recovery and one touchdown. Wonnum is expected to be placed on injured reserve in the coming days.

Likely done for season
Wonnum (quadriceps) suffered a partially torn quad during Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The Vikings haven't yet confirmed whether Wonnum's injury is a season-ending one, but the severity of a quad tear indicates that the veteran linebacker will likely require surgery and be placed on IR. Through 15 games this season, Wonnum has racked up a career-high 62 tackles (33 solo), including eight sacks, one pass breakup, one forced fumble and one touchdown.

Dealing with quadriceps injury
Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters after Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Lions that the team is evaluating Wonnum to confirm a quadriceps injury, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Analysis: Wonnum was carted off the field in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game in what was originally reported as a knee injury. The fact he was carted off the field doesn't bode well for his chances to play in either (or both) of the Vikings' final two games of the season.

Carted off versus Detroit
Wonnum (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Lions, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Tallies seventh sack
Wonnum notched five tackles (three solo) and one sack during Sunday's 3-0 win at Las Vegas.
Analysis: Wonnum's sack of Aidan O'Connell forced a three and out for the Raiders, who were ultimately shut out in Minnesota's low-scoring win. While Wonnum remains off the IDP radar in most formats, he's putting together a career year at the perfect time, with free agency looming this coming offseason.

Gets to quarterback again Sunday
Wonnum recorded four tackles (three solo) including a sack in Sunday's 27-19 win versus the Saints.
Analysis: Wonnum logged a sack for the fourth time in his last seven games in Week 10, putting himself on pace for a career year in that category in his fourth NFL season. He's still off the IDP radar in most formats, though, and he's unlikely to see quite as many chances to rush the passer in Week 11 at Denver.

Doubles season sack total Week 8
Wonnum had three tackles (one solo), including two total sacks, in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Packers.
Analysis: Wonnum got to Jordan Love on three separate occasions, first on a solo 12-yard sack at the end of the first quarter and in combined efforts with Camryn Bynum and Harrison Phillips in the second and fourth quarter, respectively. Wonnum is up to four sacks on the year -- already matching his total from 2022 -- and has played in at least 60 percent of defensive snaps in seven of eight games this season.

Scores TD on fumble return
Wonnum had six total tackles, including a sack, two quarterback hits, a pass defensed and a 51-yard fumble return for a touchdown in Sunday's 21-13 win at Carolina.
Analysis: Wonnum saw less playing time (just 45 of the defense's 72 snaps) with the return of Marcus Davenport from injury, but he was efficient as a pass rusher. Harrison Smith forced a fumble on a sack and Wonnum caught a lucky bounce and returned it for a touchdown.

Four tackles in loss
Wonnum started at outside linebacker opposite Danielle Hunter in Minnesota's 3-4 defense with Marcus Davenport out with an ankle injury and had four total tackles in Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Wonnum will be counted on to help with the pass rush after the departure of Za'Darius Smith, but he didn't register any QB pressures in the loss. He played on 54 of the defense's 68 snaps. He could start again in Thursday night's Week 2 matchup against the Eagles if Davenport remains sidelined.

Smaller role in 2022
Wonnum totaled 38 tackles, including four sacks, while playing 16 games during the 2022 regular season.
Analysis: Wonnum took a step back in both playing time and production following his career-best campaign in 2021. The third-year linebacker shifted into a rotational role behind Minnesota's top pass rushers Danielle Hunter and Za'Darius Smith. Wonnum still played at least 43 percent of defensive snaps in every game outside of the 2022 season opener, though he totaled just one-half sack over the final 10 contests, including the Vikings' wild-card loss to the Giants.

Wonnum was listed as a non-participant at Thursday's practice due to an illness.
Analysis: Wonnum didn't appear on the Vikings' initial practice report Wednesday, but his availability for Sunday's game against the Vikings is now up in the air after he came down with an unspecified illness.

Gets sack in season opener
Wonnum had a sack and two total tackles in Sunday's win over Green Bay.
Analysis: Wonnum played on 21 of the defense's 61 snaps. Wonnum moved into a starting role after Danielle Hunter's season-ending pectoral injury Week 8 last year and responded with 33 tackles and seven sacks over his final 10 games. He'll begin this season in a reserve role behind Hunter and newcomer Za'Darius Smith as an edge rusher in the Vikings' new 3-4 defense, but Wonnum could find his way onto the field more since neither Hunter nor Smith were able to stay healthy in 2021.

Shows improvement in 2021
Wonnum tallied 47 tackles (29 solo), eight sacks, a forced fumble and four pass defenses in 2021.
Analysis: Wonnum failed to top three tackles in any of his first seven appearances of the season, but he finished the year on a strong note with 20 tackles (15 solo), five sacks and a pass defense across the final four games. The 2020 fourth-rounder will attempt to build on his production during his third NFL season in 2022.

Doubles up sack total in win
Wonnum tallied eight tackles -- including a career-high three sacks -- to go with a forced fumble Monday in the Vikings' 17-9 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Wonnum doubled up his season sack total in the Week 15 win and has now gotten to the quarterback five times in the last four games while also batting down three passes. He's done his part to help lead Minnesota's pass-rushing effort after Danielle Hunter (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve in early November.

False positive result confirmed
Wonnum projects to be available for Sunday's game against the Packers after it was confirmed his COVID-19 test Wednesday generated a false positive result, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Misses practice Wednesday
Wonnum was unable to practice Wednesday as the Vikings are determining whether the defensive end needs to be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: Wonnum took two COVID-19 tests Wednesday in which the first test came back positive and the second was negative. There is a solid chance that the defensive end might've had a false positive test. Wonnum will take another test again Thursday, which will determine if he ends up on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Moves up depth chart
Wonnum is likely to move into a starting role in the wake of Danielle Hunter's season-ending pectoral injury, Eric Smith of the Vikings' official website reports.
Analysis: Wonnum has had a rotational presence on the Vikings' defensive line all season, but Hunter's absence the rest of the way is expected to afford the 24-year-old a starting role moving forward. The 2020 fourth-round selection has 14 tackles (six solo) and a sack on the season playing 66 percent of the defensive snaps. He'll look to take advantage of the added responsibility starting Week 9 against the Ravens.

Gets sack in reserve role
Wonnum had a sack, two QB hits and three total tackles despite moving from the starting lineup to a bench role in Sunday's win over Detroit.
Analysis: Everson Griffen moved into the starting role at defensive end opposite Danielle Hunter. Wonnum still played on 40 of the defense's 68 snaps, about his usual rate, and was still productive. The Vikings will likely rotate both players to keep them fresh.

Wonnum started at right defensive end and had two total tackles in Sunday's overtime loss at Cincinnati.
Analysis: Wonnum played 47 of the defense's 69 snaps. He won the starting role over Stephen Weatherly in the preseason, but was outplayed by him on Sunday, at least by Pro Football Focus's rankings, as Wonnum graded poorly in the pass rush.

Listed as starter
Wonnum is listed as the starter at right defensive end in Minnesota's unofficial depth chart opposite Danielle Hunter ahead of a Week 1 matchup at Cincinnati.
Analysis: Wonnum edged out Stephen Weatherly for the starting nod, but both players will likely be part of a rotation. And Everson Griffen may get most of the snaps on passing situations, which could limit Wonnum's fantasy value.

Wonnum is slated to start against New Orleans on Friday with Jalyn Holmes (groin) officially ruled out for the contest, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Wonnum (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Adds another sack
Wonnum posted two solo tackles and a sack in Monday's 19-13 win over the Bears.
Analysis: That's now back-to-back games where Wonnum has played at least 50 percent of the snaps on defense, although it doesn't look like a starting role is in the works, as both Ifeadi Odenigbo and Jalyn Holmes are locked into their respective roles. Still, Wonnum is showing promise in his rookie season, as he's recorded three sacks and seven quarterback pressures through eight games.
