  • Panthers' Justin Houston: Heads to IR

    Houston (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

    The veteran linebacker suffered a hamstring injury during the Panthers' Week 8 win over the Texans, and he was unable to practice all throughout the week. Houston will be forced to miss Carolina's next four games, with his earliest possible return coming in Week 13. Amare Barno is expected to see an increased workload on the Panthers' defense until Houston returns to the field.

  • Panthers' Justin Houston: Sitting against Indy

    Houston (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Houston was unable to practice in any capacity throughout the week after hurting his hamstring in the Week 8 win over the Texans. The veteran linebacker's next chance to play will come Thursday against the Bears, though the short turnaround will make it challenging for Houston to recover from his soft-tissue injury in time to suit up for Week 10.

  • Panthers' Justin Houston: Exits game with hamstring injury

    Houston (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Texans, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Houston had one tackle for the game before exiting the field. Amare Barno, DJ Johnson and Eku Leota are candidates for increased defensive snaps in Houston's absence.

  • Panthers' Justin Houston: Good to go Sunday

    Houston (calf) has been deemed active ahead of Sunday's game against Seattle.

    Houston dealt with a calf injury during the leadup to Sunday's Week 3 contest for Carolina. However, this won't keep him from suiting up for the third game in a row to begin the season. Houston totaled four tackles and 0.5 sacks over the first two games of the season.

  • Panthers' Justin Houston: Questionable but likely to play

    Houston (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, but coach Frank Reich expects him to play, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Coming off a Week 2 in which he recorded half a sack against Derek Carr, Houston has been limited by a calf injury in practice. The 34-year-old has logged 57 percent of the Panthers' defensive snaps through two games and will now get a juicy date against a Seahawks offensive line missing both of its starting tackles.

  • Panthers' Justin Houston: Limited with calf injury

    Houston (calf) participated in Wednesday's practice in a limited capacity.

    Houston looks to have gotten dinged up during Monday's loss to the Saints, though the fact that he was limited in Wednesday's walkthrough is encouraging. Through two contests this season, Houston has recorded four tackles (two solo), a half-sack and one pass defensed. He will work to get healthy in time for Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks.

  • Panthers' Justin Houston: Finds new home

    Houston signed a one-year, $6 million contract with the Panthers on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Houston's last Pro-Bowl appearance was back in 2015, but the 34-year-old remains a solid pass rusher during the twilight of his career. In his last two seasons with the Ravens, he combined for 14 sacks in 29 contests, including 9.5 sacks in 2022. Even if he doesn't claim a starting gig at outside linebacker in Carolina, Houston should see plenty of snaps in a rotational role.
