2020 Defense Projections
2020 Fantasy Outlook
After being named to his second Pro Bowl in 2018, Short unfortunately made just two appearances last season due to a shoulder injury. His absence coincided with the Panthers' defensive performance dropping off significantly, but in spending this year's first two draft picks on the front seven, Carolina added new life to support Short this season. When at his best, Short ranks among the most disruptive interior defensive lineman league-wide, but he'll have to re-prove himself during his age-31 campaign. In three seasons prior to 2019, he averaged nearly 50 tackles and 5.5 sacks while playing 46 games. Read Past Outlooks

Won't play in Tampa
Short (foot) is out for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Short returned from last year's season-ending shoulder injury to record four tackles on 63 percent snap share in a Week 1 loss to the Raiders. He apparently picked up a foot injury along the way, and he'll now be out for at least one game. Short has been one of the better defensive tackles in the NFL since the Panthers picked him in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft, so his upcoming absence could help Tampa Bay's Tom Brady and Ronald Jones. The Panthers are left with 30-year-old journeyman Zach Kerr and rookie sixth-round pick Bravvion Roy as their main options for DT snaps alongside first-round rookie Derrick Brown.

Despite missing the first two games of his six-year career, Short was named to his second Pro Bowl last season. That came thanks to only 42 tackles and three sacks, both marking his lowest totals since 2014, but Short also made an impressive 12 stops for loss. Among the league's best interior defensive linemen, Short will welcome the addition of fellow DT Gerald McCoy this season. Both players will hope to benefit from each other's presence, potentially helping them approach their former All-Pro bests.
