Panthers Sign Former First-Round Pick Charles Harris to Boost Pass Rush

The Panthers move to fortify their defense comes after a major injury to Pro Bowl defensive lineman Derrick Brown.

Charles Harris, a former first-round pick, is being signed by the Panthers to strengthen their edge rush.
Harris had his most productive season in 2021 with the Lions, tallying 7.5 sacks under the coaching of Todd Wash, now with the Panthers.
Harris's signing follows a significant knee injury to Pro Bowl defensive end Derrick Brown, adding urgency to Carolina's defensive needs.
The Panthers' pass rush struggled in their season opener, registering only one sack.
Harris will aim to revitalize his career in Carolina, filling a critical role in the team's 3-4 defensive scheme.
