2025 Fantasy Outlook
Umanmielen, a 2025 third-round pick from Ole Miss, was a standout pass rusher during his final college season, ranking second in the SEC with 10.5 sacks over 12 games. He ran a 4.72 40-yard dash at 6-foot-4, 244 pounds at the combine, showcasing both athleticism and versatility to strengthen a previously weak Carolina pass-rush unit. Don't be surprised if Umanmielen earns more playing time as the season progresses and becomes more familiar with Ejiro Evero's defensive scheme. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $6.35 million contract with the Panthers in May of 2025.
Nursing ankle injury
Umanmielen (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Umanmielen likely tweaked his ankle during the Panthers' Week 8 loss to the Bills, and the injury prevented the rookie third-rounder from practicing Wednesday. He'll have two more opportunities to return to practice and avoid an injury tag heading into Sunday's game against Green Bay. Umanmielen has worked in a rotational role at linebacker and has nine tackles (five solo), including 1.5 sacks, through the first eight regular-season games of his NFL career.
