Panthers Linebacker DJ Johnson Sidelined After Car Accident

The 26-year-old sustained a concussion in a two-car collision and will miss Carolina's season finale against Atlanta.

DJ Johnson, Carolina Panthers linebacker, was involved in a two-car accident on Thursday in Charlotte, sustaining a concussion.
The Panthers confirmed Johnson will miss Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons and placed him on the non-football injury list.
Head coach Dave Canales described the incident as non-life-threatening, with Johnson undergoing further medical evaluations.
Johnson, a third-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, recorded 44 tackles and a half-sack during his second NFL season.
The Panthers have been eliminated from playoff contention, while the Falcons must win on Sunday and rely on a Buccaneers loss to secure a postseason spot.
