2024 Projections
The Panthers have scheduled an early afternoon press conference where it's believed that Rucker will announce his retirement, the Charlotte Observer reports.
ANALYSIS
He'll go down as one of the franchise's most popular players, ranking second in sacks (52.5) and tackles (496) after playing 10 seasons with the Panthers. Rucker is currently a free agent, but torn knee ligaments suffered in December of 2006 are the primary culprit if he decides to hang up his spikes on Tuesday.

Rucker's progressing towards a return from a torn ACL and MCL, but the Panthers aren't sure what they're going to get out of him this season. Rookie Charles Johnson is next in line to start opposite Julius Peppers if Rucker isn't ready to go, but check back on his status as the season approaches before rolling the IDP dice on him.
